AnswerI'm sorry Phil,
I have been so busy at work solving those issues that I did forgot. I will talk to the crew at our 8am meeting.
Ok, here is what we came up with... Find a very high cliff... No Wait, The boys feel that either there is a spark plug wire crossed, a bad IAC motor (Intake Air Control) or compression problem. None of these will send a code. The IAC will if it's shorted, but won't if it is just a little wacked. How is the performance? Does it run good, just idles like crap?
