Default still acting up under part throttle when not warmed up

when the truck is not warmed up, it will spit and sputter and jerk you all around. i cleaned the o2s with a torch "allen nelson told me to along with members on here" and it acted right for about 20 mins then started doing this all again. i have a code but need to have it read.

I Think it's only while your in open loop that your having a problem, Mine does the same thing till it gets warmed up. I can give it gas in neutral and it'll sputter while accelerating, but once warmed up it's just fine

Mine stutters a bit as well while she's cold. But after a good 2-3miles all is well.
Or i just remote start it about 5 mins before i walk out the door and she is fine.

I recommend NGK brand sensors. Mine was doing the same thing (spudder would go away when throttle was pressed about 75%, but would throw me back in the seat!) and when I went to the NGK's it hasn't done it since. Seems to be a sideeffect of no cats and/or longtube headers from what I can tell. The stock front O2's just crap out after a while, probably because they don't heat up as fast without the cats. The vette O2's are supposed to be better as well, but I haven't tried them.

My truck didn't act up any until i cammed it. Had longtubes for almost a year and it never acted funny.

im thinking that its all comming from the overlap of the cam and clogging up the O2's. yes its only doing it in open loop because my O2's were not going into closed loop when allen nelson went for a ride with me.
