When I first opened my shop here in Colorado thats what I did--emissions, driveability repair. I was going around to different shops at night and fixing the cars they couldn't figure out, then one day I fixed the right guy's car and he backed me financially to open my own. I was like the first driveability shop in co. springs --we wore labcoats. and everything lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

Tire wear? pulling/drifting? Do you have stock tires/lifted? You can set toe yourself with a tape measure-kinda crude but sounds like you have another issue- it shouldn't keep losing toe adjust. If you could give me a little more info. -------------------Answering those ???'s would help alot. There is a TSB for offset balljoints TSB 02-001-02- but that would affect caster/camber, also the factory steering stabilizer shock on those is a piece of shit- we always replace them at Jeep with a heavy duty Rancho(They are actually less expensive than the junk one you get at Jeep) Give me some more info and I will check back when I get to work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If both those check out you could be looking at a pcm failure. I dont see any bulletins but BUDMAN works at chevy and probably has access to any NEW software issues--they post them seperately so only gm techs have access and i dont have that anymore.

And it does not seem to matter if its warmed up or cold. Just for about the first 1 1/2 mins after you start it. I have a scanner on my laptop and cannot see anything out of the ordinary. No codes at all, did Replace an O2 sensor about 6 months ago, and fuel pump a bit before that, but it was doing it before that. Had a tune-up etc. no difference. Im stumped!

But those had A LOT of problems with the injector poppets plugging up,leaking. GM has an upper engine cleaner that they spray in the intake and let set,as well as cleaning the poppets directly like the fuel inj. svc you normally get. Sometimes they can leak--also I have seen the fuel pressure regulator leak(it is internal in the intake manifold)Do you see any black smoke until it starts re-gaining power? 1 way to check is to open the throttle plates and have someone turn key-on-engine off while you watch down inside throttle body and see if you see fuel leaking anywhere inside. Almost bet it is one or the other. That "spider" (as we call it) is a piece of crap.I think they might even have a conversion kit to make it MFI instead of SFI.but prob. expensive. Might get you a can of that upper engine clean from gm and try running a can of BG44K through the tank, especially if you dont see fuel leak in manifold.

(after market). Is this an aftermarket o2 sensor or G.M. and the ignition should be off for 10 hours for proper resistance test of the heater circuit. And always use dielectric grease on all connectors....... check connector at ecm/pcm and apply grease. Test these circuits the ho2s hearter low control circuit and the ingintion 1 voltage circuit should be 3 oms feel free to hit me up anytime.
