I had the exact same issue and did all the same things you did in hopes of repairing the issue. Then a guy at an auto parts store told me that my catalytic converter was probably clogged and needed to be replaced. Well, since my Chevy is a 1994 C1500 doesn't require a catalytic converter to pass inspection, I just had it removed and replaced with a straight pipe. The catalytic converter was clogged like a mutha and now my truck runs like a champ!
