I have a 97 Tahoe, two wheel drive, 5.7l engine. while accelerating to highway speeds i get a strong vibration that gets worse when i push down on the gas. If i take it easy accelerating, I can usually get up to 65-70 and it eventually "shifts" and goes away. this also happens going up causeways (the rest of my area is pretty flat). at speeds below 50, never an issue. Also, the service engine soon light frequently blinks while this is happening...the code reader shows "random misfire" and something about the catalyst sensor.
I just replaced all the plugs, wires, rotor and cap and no change. I'm thinking about o2 sensors next.
Would a U joint problem typically have a code show up?
Could this be something with my transmission? the torque converter maybe?
how much is a typical torque converter job?
Thanks for the help.
