acceloration problems
hello i got a little problem with my truck that im not sure if its normal or something is actually messing up.
the problem is when i hit the gas the engine feels like it loses power and dont really want to go between 20%-60% throttle. if i just put a little into it the truck will go fine, or i slam on the gas i can spin the tires. just right in the middle my truck feels like i got 5000 pounds behind me.
truck is a 96 with the 5.0/302 4 speed auto w/OD extended cab shortbed 2x4 101k miles.

If the cat was clogged you would feel it at WOT too. The PCM can store codes even if the CEL isn't on. I would check the resistance of the TPS through its operating range.

i should add another problem that has showed up that i forgot to mention.
when im crusing down the road going almost any speed over 30. if i get up to 50 and hold steady at that. after about 10 seconds to a minute i can feel my gas pedal vibrate a little bit and my truck feels like it goes into a head wind. it goes away if i move the gas pedal but aslong as i dont move it. it will vibrate and feel like im slowing down.
