i have the sme thing, it like studders when i go to accelerate. Almost like the car doesnt down shift until i hit th gas.

I will slow down to like 5 mph and strt rolling real slowly, then slighty tap the gas, and the car like down shofts real quick and then goes. Its weird, not to sure what it is. I gotta take it to GM

I'd imagine bag spark plugs all the way to a dirty throttle body can cause a car to slug

Throttle body is a big one , they get gummed up easy. I'd throw a new set of plugs in it too or atleast check the gap. My old car would hesitate when the gap was .038 or higher.
