Engine runs fine but will stumble if you give it gas to fast. Have checked following parts/systems fuel & air filters , fuel pressure , TPS , MAP . Vacuum leaks . O2 , EGR , Temp sensor , Etc..

last tune up was done a month ago. Found a problem with the throttle body at that time (hole in fuel return port cap)which allowed pressure to by pass regulator. I repaired problem and now have pressure on rail.

Converter was replaced about 3 years ago. I will check as soon as I get home next week.
