ANSWER: GOOD MORN DUG,THIS SOUNDS LIKE A INTERNAL PROBLEM RATHER THEN IGNITION OR FUEL FAULT..HAVE YOU CHECKED THE TIMING ON THIS ??? ALSO WOULD SUGGGEST TAKING TO A SHOP THAT CAN RUN LIVE DATA ON THIS COMPUTER TO CK AND SEE IF ALL LOOKS GOOD..IAM NOT TALKING CODES [DATA].THE NO POWER IS USUALLY TIMING JUMPED OR PLUGGED EXHAUST..YOU SAY YOU CLEANED OUT THE CAT..HOW DO YOU CLEAN OUT A CAT ??? DID YOU PUNCH IT OUT ??? BECAUSE YOU CANT CLEAN A CAT..I HAVE SEEN ONCE IN A GREAT WHILE THE IGN CONTROL MODULE WILL CAUSE THIS...JUST TO MAKE SURE THE EXH IS NOT THE PROBLEM, REMOVE THE OXYGEN SENSORS BEFORE THE CAT AND DRIVE IT LIKE THIS JUST AS A TEST TO SEE IF THIS IMPROVES YOUR PROBLEM.IF SO WE KNOW THE EXH IS AT FAULT..LET ME KNOW WHAT HAPPENS WITH THE ABOVE INFO AND GOOD LUCK TO YOU,,,TOM..

AnswerHI DOUG,THESE CODES MEAN THE ENG IS RUNNING LEAN..VACUUM LEAKS CAN CAUSE THIS,FAULTY MASS AIR FLOW,[I KNOW YOU HAVE REPLACED THIS]PLUGGED AIR FILTER,BAD GAS.CK AIR INTAKE PAST THE MASS AIR FLOW TO SEE IF THERE IS A SPLIT IN IT.THIS WILL CAUSE ALEAN CONDITION AS WELL...RECHECK YOUR STEPS ON THE MASS AIR FLOW..IT IS ALSO POSSIBLE THAT IF YOU GOT A AFTERMARKET MASS AIR FLOW IT IS NO GOOD..DID YOU GET IT FROM GM [ I BET YOU DID NOT ]UNPLUG THE MASS AIR FLOW AND DRIVE IT LIKE THIS TO SEE WHAT KIND OF CODES YOU PULL LIKE THIS,IT WILL NOT RUN GREAT BUT SHOULD RUN ENOUGH TO PULL SOME NEW CODES FROM THE PCM.YOU WILL GET A OPEN MASS AIR FLOW CIRCUIT OFF THE BAT OF COURSE..LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU GET...TOM
