99 Chevy Suburban 5.7L Engine Won't Accelerate Sign In

I have a 1999 Chevy Suburban K1500 4 wheel drive. It has a 5.7 liter engine and has 360,000 miles. I recently had a fuel pump put in last year. It is now running sluggish when I accelerate it will not go. This happens after it seems to warm up about 15 minutes of driving. I just replaced the fuel filter thinking that it may have been plugged up but it is still running poorly. When I put the fuel pressure gauge on it, it read 61-62 during start up and then dropped down to 57-59 (pulsates rapidly) after I started it. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

The fuel pressure seems to be fine. Have it scanned for any stored trouble codes.

Thank you for the quick response, I did have it scanned and there is nothing wrong but the oxygen sensor. Can this affect how the car runs?

Is that 360K on the original engine?

You should do a compression check to see what the mechanical condition of the engine is. Be sure the battery is fully charged, the fuel and ignition is disabled, and the throttle is wide open when you do your test.
