STumbling, buck jumping in hi gear when mash on gas!!
The Crankshaft Position Sensor (or MIsfire sensor) sure can make a difference in how one runs! I had a bad one & like to have never figured it out!!
Code reader showed misfire on cylinder 6. & a P0118 (Engine Temp Control Sensor) Started with plugs, wires, dist cap & rotor. Then O2 sensor code (Bank 2 Sensor 2), replaced O2 sensor by cat converter. STill no better!!

Did everything but Put on smoke machine, but was acting like a vac leak, fuel press good, SOOOOO
I finally changed out Cam postion Sensor, WHOW! Then it threw a P0385, crankshaft sensor!!!
Changed it out & now truck runs fine!!
Now why did my Matco $150 code reader find that at first???
I spend $500 on parts!! SOmetimes "chasing codes" can be frustrating & a waste of time & money!!

had did mention Distributor cap and plug wires...must be old !! I really don't get it..because older motors don't have those sensors
