not for sure but it could be your cam sensor. if the check engine light is on then take it to a parts store and they can run a scan and give you more information

CHECK ELECTRONIC COILS AT PLUGS!

they are correct change the fuel filters

it sounds like the speed sensor is faulty,but you should have it checked in case it is an output or input sensor too.whats happening is, since the computer has no eyes it totaly depends on sensors to know what is happening,if it sees no speed it won't up shift the transmission because it thinks your sitting still.

put a scanner on it and look at fuel trim/air flow, etc. If it's just running rough, look to correct that, new plugs/wires, vacuum leak, etc. The scanner will help tell you what the engine is looking for.

had this problem on my neighbors 98 chevy truck with the same engine !!
it turnd out too be the fuel pressure regulator,you have too pull the upper intake too replace it!!

check fuel pressure regulator.+ vacuum lines going to it look see if gas in vacuum line.if so regulator rupture.

when the check engine comes back on get it right to a computer at your local mechanic so you can tell what the problem is

Find out why the engine light is coming on, it is the info u probably need to fix the running rough problem. Most auto parts stores will read the codes stored in your trucks computer for free, write them down, and ask what they mean and how to correct the problem. If u need more info, return to this site w/ codes for further help.
