I have a 95 GM suburban that sputters with any gas but Chevron Premium. As you probably know, this is currently > $3.60/gallon. I've tried other brands, even premium and the thing runs like crap, no pickup and sputtering on hills. I have added octane boosters, they help with premium gas from costco and other stations, but only Chevron premium runs virgin. Don't even think about something other than premium... :crying:

So, any diagnosis of what may be the problem and any referrals for a decent mechanic in the Salt Lake area that I can trust to check it out further?

Thanks in advance...

Tips on finding a good repair shop.Check around Ask around
Word of mouth.
Family friends coworkers neighbors business people and delivery people.
Mailmen and parcel delivery people get around and notice a lot of stuff.
Even a good parts house knows what shops are good and not good.
Chamber of commerce and better business bureau and city hall.
If you find a good referral to a repair shop go look them over and talk to them.
Look for a clean looking busy place with nice people running it.
Ask a few questions and ask about their qualifications and training.
Not all places have trained tech/mechanics.
If they do not find a place that does.
Even all dealers do not have all trained techs/mechanics.
