sseidriver97 04-07-2011 03:11 PM

What exactly did you and Dan discuss....What was done in your tune up? I.E. What parts were replaced???

zimmett 04-07-2011 03:13 PM

Had a mechanic look at the car, said plugs were fine @ 92,000 miles. Checked O2 sensor said it was clean. Checked PCM said it was not bad. Dan mentioned that the PCM should be recalabrated.

Getting 10 miles per gallon in winter

sseidriver97 04-07-2011 03:18 PM

winter blend fuels do no good for mpg anyways but wouldnt kill it that bad..Were the spark plugs and or air filter replaced? pcv valve how is tire pressure...Was the catalytic convertor checked?

I then talked to a GM dealer. He said tha if the PCM is bad a light woulld go on on the dashboard.Could this PCM be adjusted?
