Re: bad gas or what???
i keep coming back to your map sensor since it only happens in low vac situations try putting in first and drive it up to around 3000rpm then nail it see if it does it then if not my bet is the map it would be odd though

Re: bad gas or what???
change the fuel filter again... it may have clogged with bad gas and then the new has build up since there was more bad gas in it.... otherwise i'm not sure. My dad's truck did this and we changed the fuel filter twice... it got better but still does it no matter what.
