Hello chevygeek

Probably one of the following sensors and or ignition components could cause the problem.
Check for bad or dirty MAF (mass airflow) sensor
Low fuel pressure (leaky fuel pressure regulator
or weak fuel pump)
Vacuum leaks (intake manifold, vacuum hoses, throttle body, EGR valve)
Bad gasoline (fuel contaminated with water or too much alcohol)
and have fuel injector clean up.

Check also the ignition side such as dirty or worn spark plugs
Bad plug wires
Weak ignition coil
Wet plug wires
if there is no code, have it diagnose and look in "pending code"
