My 97 GMC Safari Van starts up fine but as I step on the gas it sputters and pops and then dies. The fuel pump has been tested and has pressure. The throddel sensor has been tested and it’s fine. I should also add that about 3 years ago I was told by my dealership that there was a small crack (I believe it was in the block) and that if over time it grew larger that water could get in and it would be the end of the engine. Could it be water mixing with the fuel? What do you think is wrong?

Thanks,
