Good morning! First post ever so be patient with me... :ROFLMAO: I have a 2019 Chevy Equinox 1.5L with some 86k miles on it. I have noticed when idling, the engine seems to have a slight sputtering. I also notice a weird sputtering/pausing in the engine at around 40-50 mph only if I am depressing the pedal slightly. If I punch it quickly, I cannot perceive the same issue happening. I do not see any changes on my RPMs and transmission seems to be shifting properly. Anybody has had this issue? If already posted, can you provide a link? It seems very similar to what happened once with my 2017 Chevy Trax. Also want to point out this started happening during the frigid temperatures we have had in VT for the past month+. Any help or knowledge would be appreciated. Thanks!

Any CEL or reduced power warnings?
If you have never cleaned the throttle body it could be due.
You could try some Lucas Oil fuel additive, that might help.

Hey! No CEL and no lights coming on. I can try those, I have an appointment at the mechanic tomorrow, but wanted to check if anybody had gone thru these issues before and might be able to point me in the right direction. If they can't come up with anything I will try these options.
