    I will. I just get that typical nagging feeling when it comes to these sorts of things. At the end of the day it is a GM, and in my experience, when GMs hit 100k miles things like this seem to always start going out. It has 103k on it now.

    Yet I have the opposite feeling. I have driven and purchased these cars with many more miles and many less issues, having been neglected of maintenance for years.

    Something odd is going on with it, that's for sure. A fuel pump shouldn't behave the way yours is..if you could test it driving..that would tell you w/o question. As should watching the O2 go lean.

    I will get it figured out one way or another. At least I know this one was never neglected.

The only time I got a code was if I forced it to the floor and stayed into it. If you still believe that the fuel pump is the issue, then look at timing, O2 sensor, and MAP and watch what they do. You can even log the data and put it into a spreadsheet. Set the sample rate to 100ms (.1 Second)

    Lets make sure I got the right dials to monitor what you two are suggesting. I set the dials to use digital display.

    Format example: Monitor Name = Dial Name

    O2 Sensors
    Fuel Trim Bank 1 Short Term = STFT1
    Fuel Trim Bank 2 Short Term = STFT2
    I assume the readings here, if functioning properly need to be in the range of .45 volts. Voltage .1 = lean, Voltage .9 = rich. However, these dials are showing measurements with %.
    I see a long term option as well, but for this purpose short term seems more appropriate.

    MAP Sensor
    Intake Manifold Pressure = Intake

    Timing
    Timing Advance = Timing

    As far as logging, If I tell the Torque app to start logging, will it log "everything" by default or do I need to set the data points to log?

    Don't worry about the long term and short term for now, you want to look at 02 voltage and set it for graph where it is a line graph that moves up and down and leaves what looks like an EKG type graph. It will say O2 1x1V

    Do I want to look at both banks or just one? O2 1x1 and O2 2x1?


    I noticed something that may not be working right, not sure. However, it only seems to read only on Bank 1, if I add the Bank 2 it does not respond. This is constant with several other sensors. One side will read but not the other.

    Using what I posted earlier as an example for the short term dials, STFT1 is working, but STFT2 does not show anything.

    The car only has one bank, B1. On B1 there's S1 (in rear manifold) and S2 which is post cat.

    The only sensor that makes sense is B1S1, if you watch voltage.. when you stuff the pedal, it should go upwards of 800 and stay there until you let off.

    That explains a few things. Know what they say about assuming things.....

    Posting the log file of the drive into work this morning. Hopefully I did this right.

    I see a few instances of KR coming in.

    I am thinking you may be looking at the wrong MAP signal, one is in absolute pressure and the other is in pressure and vacuum. If you subtract 14.7 from all the MAP data points you only see a few instances of you actually getting into boost. Looking at the O2 at that point it looked as though it was lean, at about .6V but there wasn't enough samples to tell.

    Do this: When you have a chance and everything is clear Start logging then start from a dead stop accelerate to 60 mph then stop the log. The amount of KR is negligible from what I saw, less that 1*. Try this a couple of times then post those logs.

    The one I selected is called 'Intake Manifold Pressure'. This was just an excerpt of what I saw in the log. I posted the entire log earlier as a zip file.

    I will do the 0-60 later today.

    I saw the entire log and went through the data and graphed it by doing a short log it will spread out the information and allow for a more detailed graph. I end up having to split them up into different graph as trying to read a 0-1V signal with a manifold pressure drowns out the Oz output. There are 2 PID's to log from one try the other one I think it is turbo boost and vacuum gauge at the bottom of the selectable PID's, I did the same thing when I was trying to log data, although it's easy enough to subtract the 14.7 psi to show boost.

    I'm back. I had to go off the grid for awhile and take a break from life.

    I got it fixed once I got back on it. Took all of 15 minutes and just so happened to have a spare laying around from another project.
    It was a boot on a plug wire, when I changed the plugs I missed it. It had a small crack in the boot and it was not containing the spark and it was jumping across to the manifold.

    Replaced the boot and all is well. But there is another small mystery to take care of, I will start another thread on it.

    Thanks all for the help, especially for keeping me hesitant so I did not just replace something that did not need replacing.
