A flashing check engine light is warning you that the engine is misfiring and damaging the catalytic converter. Sounds like it's misfiring under load. This is an ignition system problem. Check your ignition coil since a tune up didn't seem to solve the problem. Did you replace the distributor rotor? You didn't mention that. If not, replace the distributor rotor and check that ignition coil sounds like it's failing. HTH. -Jim

Could be leaning out under load, have the codes pulled and see what they say, as you had a flashing light it should have stored it in memory.

First off an 04 doesn't have a distributor cap, it has coil packs. So there's no way you could have replaced it. You might want To find out where it's misfiring and replace the coils on that cylinder

Have anyone tried changing the sensor on the gas peddle? Seems to be another bad part of gmc
