Did you ever check the little computer box I asked about above the spare tire? You sound like your having the same problems I had the box is like 4in by 3in

I'm not a fan of Seafoam, for the system cleaner use Gumout or Lucas branded cleaner, I've used both and they work pretty well. Fixed some problems in my '71 Buick that were similar to what you were saying.

Comin in hot wit the wisdom. Ur gettin good kid. Lol. Lucus makes great products

Sorta, just saying, the Buick used to be like that, sputter for a bit before it would roar to life. You'd have to gun it sometimes. Bought a giant bottle of Lucas and used it for 5 or so fill-ups and it fixed it for the most part. The rest was just the old fuel system lol.

There is a little box that have wires going to it. It's runs your fuel pump its mounted above the spare tire pretty much. You have to take it all the way off its 2 or 3 bolts and look at the back side mine had a hole rotted right through it. My truck would run fine then start cutting in and out and and sputtering then run fine and cut out. Sometimes is would completely die but start right back up. Idk if your having the same symptoms or not

Try both, like I said it might be clogged injectors or a fuel system problem, or what Robert said as he has a good possibility there. But try both as well, one at a time. So two separate fill-ups, whichever you choose to try first, pour it it before filling your tank. Make sure you get enough to treat the whole tank though, usually I have to buy to when I run fuel system cleaner through mine as most small bottles only treat 21 gallons and my tank is 26 gallons.
