Car is chugging a little bit at 45mph

The first thing that comes to my mind is "45 MPH"... and let me explain why.....

Your engine you said is running GREAT so a MPH is not going to effect the running of the Car but what happens @ 45 MPH you ask?

Your Torque Converter goes into Lock up.... If the Torque Converter is slipping in and out of lock up, you are going to have an irregular pulsating of the engine playing catch up.

you need to do this, try and drive the vehicle (you did not say what kind of vehicle it is), and drive it without the OVERDRIVE On...

So drive it and see if it is RPM RELATED. If there is no CHUG and you can go all the way to 55-60 without issue, Slow down below 45 and put the OD IN and accellerate and see what happens..

Is the Problem SPEED RELATED? Is it RPM Related?

If it does not happen with it OUT of OD, then what you probably have is a Torque Converter Failing...

I hope this helps

Engine surge at 45-55 mph on 2002 Silverado 5.3l engine

I would start looking for a vacuum leak. Check all the vacuum lines for cracks or breakage. Spray penetrating fluid on them until you hear the engine start to stumble then focus the spray on that area until you are able to pinpoint the location of the leak. Best of luck,my friend, Dana

Engine light on miss aceleracion wont go more then 50 mph

At 45 or 50 is the engine RPM normal? If its higher that it should be transmission could be slipping.
If the engine is misfiring at 45 or 50 it could be the spark plugs.
If its just holding back on power it could be catylitic convertor, or possibly fuel filter.
