89 5.7 TBI - 1/14/2007 7:37:17 PM    biggs9704   Posts: 1 Joined: 1/14/2007 Status: offline     under acceleration, in any gear, it has started to stumble and stall.  I changed the cap and rotor, wires, checked the plugs as they only had 8,000 on them, the oxygen-sensor and a new fuel filter. I can still feel the serge and under flat out acceleration it still stumbles.  I thought sure it was the oxygen sensor as that is the sourse of most tune-up problems I have had.   The motor has 115,000.  Any suggestions?
