low speed issues - 3/26/2008 1:52:40 PM

After weeks of searching, I finally purchased a 1995 Silverado with the 5.7L. Beautiful truck, no rust, drives like brand new....but at very low speeds it kind of sputters when you first hit the gas. In Drive, at a stop with the brake fully pressed, it idles fine, but when I take my foot off the brake, it sputters until I give it some gas and then it takes off. Once it gets moving it drives fine with no hesitation what so ever. Anyone have any thoughts??
Thanks

not for 100 percent sure on this but it may be a vaccum problem, but like i said not for sure...if i'm not mistaken the brake booster is run off of vaccum and when you let off the brakes someting happens, its probably leaking somewhere would be my guess

First, great choice on the truck!!! what color?
Second, I agree with gerkendave, the booster is run off vaccum. I would check that line for a small leak before looking else where.
