GMC Safari

Hi again..I havent had the need to come in here for quite awhile.

I own a 1995 GMC Safari AWD van

I very recently had the oil changed,tires replaced head lite taken care of...etc,little things

Now,on a trip out of town last week,it acted up

On the long drive,travelling on average @ 50 mph,it run fine...when I came to a small town or lights,it offered to stall.(this is VERY unusual for this vehicle)

At some places it actually did quit running and the engine light came on

It would start back up again with no trouble,and would idle in neutral or park,but I had to be quick with the feet to get it to run as far as actually travelling went.

I did put a container of the gas line anti freeze in it,thinking it might have been water in the fuel.(I am in Ontario and no,it isnt freezing temps right now)

A while later that day,I also put in premium fuel instead of the usual regular in the hopes that that too may help.

For the drive home,long distance,it again ran fine...but yesterday when I took it out again,when I had to slow down for the little towns and to turn into my driveway,again it offered to stall.

Is this enough info for someone to figure out what the problem might be?

Could it possibly be a dirty fuel filter?
