Engine Performance problem
1997 Chevy Suburban V8 Automatic 133500 miles

This problem has been going on for more than a week. Now the "Service Engine Soon" light turned on.
When I get on the freeway and I accelerate pass 55mph to 65mph, the car shakes(it feels as if the car has hiccups) then as I keep accelerating pass 65mph, the car is ok(no more rough hiccups).
What is wrong with the car?
Thank you!
