Hey help please, My 1999 Tahoe will not start on it's own, I have to spray a little ether in the breather. Also once it is running, the top half of the gas peddle works good, but when I push it down it just sputters and wont go into passing gear , just all around rough. It idols fine once cranked. Also revs good when peddle is pushed lightly. I changed fuel filter (which was stopped up bad) and plugs. I also changed both cadalatyc converters before this started happening . Don't know if that has anything to do with it or not. Thanks.
