I have a 1997 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. it has a 350 5.7l vortec. This just started occuring today but whenever i stop or get off the gas, in then get back on it it hesitates, like stops for a split second then starts going again. Its rainning like cats and dogs out if that has anything to do with? i dont know im young and dont know these things. if any one has any advice plese help. Thank you!

It almost sounds like the TPS switch, trottle position sensor...does the check engine light come on during the moment it happens? I've also seen dirty fuel filters cause this reaction.

like mentioned above, need to know if the check engine light is on and what codes are supplied.

also when was the last time the plug wires were changed. i think that because you mentioned the heavy rain.

next time its raining, and the car starts hesitating, get out and spray some WD40 on the plug wires. the wd40 will temporarily displace the moisture.

if the solves the problem. the wires are bad, replace and good to go
