Start diagnosing it by pulling codes or pending codes....... Tech II, Snap on etc....will read pending codes.

it sounds like you may have several issues going in...
if its not throwing codes... then its probably not a hardware issue...
I would guess at a half ***/crap tune
if you dont tune everything in the tune, you can get weird things happening on different days
theres a lot of variables...and it only takes one to throw the whole tune into a tailspin on any given day

Buy the vette o2's, if you buy these then you don't have to have extensions. Good luck
