Default Woot! Its back!

To some of you that might know me from the past I've always had an idling issue when my cam was installed by speed demon. Ever since then When I turned on the AC the car would drop in idle and die. The car would never start up normal it always took like 3 minutes till it would find the idle. Well After 2 years of this crap it finally runs the way GM designed it to run. I got fed up with the car stalling on me when I had to take it to school cuz my parents had to use my truck. I was like Fuct it! I pulled over and the 1/4 socket drive had the right size socket to unscrew the PCM. I was ready to bash this piece of crap on the ground. Mind you I've had the car tuned twice by different people and it still wouldn't idle right. Well I reseat the computer connections and ta da! The damn thing works now. Since yesterday I've been stall free I can leave the AC on and the car can sit over night and when firing up during a cold start it goes to idle!

So after all this rambling thats done I just want to say I'm excited like a little school girl! You guys don't understand. I've been down in the dumps lately because I had a car that was just cursed and driving it sucked because I knew it would always have that Idle issue. Ahhhh the joys of driving my car is great!

Time to put on my Z07 rims that are sitting in the garage and start working on the minor details that have come with neglecting a bastard car.

I dunno what happened. I know that he went out of buisness. Thats the last I've heard since I came back from Iraq. When I came back he said he'll look at my car and then I could never get ahold of him since then.

Chris is keeping low, and planning to open up a new shop in the future. Thats the last I heard, but hes doin well.

Good to hear you got the car figured out Mike! Keep an eye on it though, I hope the PCM doesn't learn its old ways and then start to run like crap again
