everybody is hard on the 2.8. My 2.8 was still going strong running as good as new when it was pulled for my 350. In fact my 2.8 has since been dropped in another s10 and is still rolling. the motor had 153,000 miles on it and during the 90,000 miles worth of ownership that i had the motor the only problems it gave me was leaky oil gaskets. zero mechanical problems.

anyhoo...chris, is your check engine light on? if so have you had it scanned? sounds like its an issue with fuel delivery. possible fuel pump going bad or maybe it is the ESC (electronic spark control)
