98 jimmy, 4wd, bucks and jumps, just started doing it, not gradual. Nothing changed after replacing EGR valve.
Any other ideas?

Just got a reply from another site. I was told the catalytic was possibly melted together causing back pressure. I removed the O2 sensors in front of the catalytic and it drove great (just loud). I'm on my way to replace the catalytic converter right now!
Thanks!

Have a nice day, but any codes? We don't want to wreck another converter do we? This will happen when the check engine light is flashing.
