Low Res Code... Once again.. so i replaced the opti due to a hesitation i was getting around 2500 rpms and after the car warms up fully it shows it most and will not let the car rev past 2500-3000 range if WOT... now... i replaced everything else as well and it was running fine for about 2 weeks and started to do this once again... the LOW-RES code came back. does this sound like what would happen if this code was to be thrown? also checked the resistance in the harness to the opti-spark and it is fine... i did how ever notice a LITTLE! bit of oil in there when i replaced the opti. im about to take her back apart and do the 3 seals... timing chain cover/opti-drive seal/water pump drive seal... can oil gettin on the optical lens cause the low-res code to be thrown???? any other ideas would be nice... as it caused my motor to have a nice loud backfire and now i have a slight knock up top around cyl #6... i used a screwdriver to teh ear method. i will be taking off the valve covers this weekend and maybe the intake as well. hoping for just a bent pushrod or collapsed lifter... maybe ill even settle for a bent valve as long as it didnt scar the piston top or head 
anything u guys can come up w/ would be AWESOME! have posted about this long ago when it happened and i am currently a student. the car was just towed up today from back home and would like to get the car back up and running

mmm k! found this thread and it seems he had oil seeping in the back as well so hopefully the seals cure it!

i was told that u needed a special tool for the seals... but was also told about using a socket of some sort to do it? how is this done?! and where can i get the REAL tool if the socket thing is a myth?

Did you replace the vacuum harness with the opti? I went thru 4 optis in 40,000 miles, put in a new vacumm harness with the 4th one and now have over 50,000 miles since then. When I ordered the opti fron Dal he said GM won't warranty and opti unless the harness is replaced with it. I guess there is a problem with the check valve in it wearing out.
