still having the same issues mostly...but the thing is, the left side of my engine'driver side' isnt running rich anymore, and now the computer pulls different codes..im going to get it replaced under the insurance monday, i shall report back...possibly ALL the wiring too.
Your more than likely going to need a new one then if its throwing random codes all the time, thats what PCMs like to do when they decide to **** the bed (or get water in em').
Your wiring should be fine, but dont quote me on that.

yeah, they said they would clean all the corrosion off the wires and get me a new cpu most likely...they are pretty cheap surprisingly...like 125 at autozone, im thinking around 200 for original gm..seems very cheap in my opinion.

heres an updayte..
i took out my 2 bottom 02 sensors yesterday, and the engine ran fine except for the idling high, like really high. it would start up, go to about 2500 and slowly(like take 30 seconds) idle down to 1500, which is still high. when i put it in drive, it went to about 900-1000-1100, basically the idle was so high the car was driving itself, when i got to 35 or 45, i didnt have to push the damn gas anymore..its like a constant cruise control(cruise control has nothing to do with this). but yeah, they are going to change the computer today and possibly the o2 sensors.
