There could be several reasons that your 1995 Chevrolet pickup truck, will not accelerate and idles rough. The most common reason is a plugged fuel line.
plugged catalytic converter
Clogged fuel filter Failing fuel pump Dirty plugs Failing plug wires Dirty Air Filter

Generally rough idle ; once you accelerate the problem goes away. I hope this helps you. Mark
If you know the spark plugs and wires are good, then check for a vacuum leak. The vehicle is 11 years old, and you may very well have a crack in a vacuum hose. A leaking intake manifold gasket will also cause rough idle.
You might try checking you idle air control valve.
I have a 2004 gt that has also developed a rough idle also and can't find the problem.... I wish you had the answer....
The idle could be a number of things. A basic tune up might be needed. They are also common to get minor vacuum leaks that will cause it to idle rough. The only light is a bad thing. It means you do not have enough oil in your motor. So when you are stoppong it is sloshing away from then sensor and you accelerate it gets back to it. Check your oil level and add oil or I would replace it because it probably over due anyway.
my 1990 300zx is idling rough what could cause this?
There are a number of reasons why a car would idle find but sputter when you accelerate. It could need a new spark plugs. You may also have to replace the filters. It might also be an issue with the air flow.
Had a Jeep in the shop here with that problem last week and it turned out to be low fuel pressure. Try running a fuel pressure test. The Jeep would idle ok but when you tried to accelerate the engine would stall.
Why does my 2001 kia sportage idle rough?
