2000 5.3 surge issue
Changed out plug wires, plugs, and fuel filter also cleaned MAF. I now am experiencing surging under acceleration with steady foot pressure on gas. Appreciate any suggestions
Also for those who do this, Chevy used 2 coil types in 2000, Delphi and Mitsubishi so they also have 2 types of plug wires make sure you get right ones.

AC Delco plugs and wires. Fuel pressure regulator is good. Also ran a couple of cans injector cleaner from GM. Not sure of next step. Thanks for reply.

Yes, I used GM's product to clean MAF. I've decieded to try cleaning out the top end by using Seafoam. When done plan on at least looking at the new plugs I just put in, change if necessary + change out oil and filter. I'm going to do this over the weekend and will do follow up with post on Monday.
In the past I've cleaned the MAF on other GM cars/ trucksbut usuallyits a hesitation issue that was the problem.
