Default 1994 truck

I have a 1994 Silverado Z71 5.7. It idles fine but as soon as you put it in gear and give it gas it sputters and wants to quit then it takes off. any ideas??

Buy a vacuum gauge and read THIS. Sounds like a vacuum leak or fuel pressure, so check the fuel pressure also. Could be timing, fuel filter/bad gas or a clogged CAT also, the vacuum gauge should narrow it down.

What happens when you rev it up not in gear?
