    I am getting the same "Running Lean" code and I went to GM to get the t-fitting for the Throttle Body, because mine had a crack in it. GM is making me buy the WHOLE set-up with the tubing and everything for $23. They said they can't just order the t-fitting for me. And the guy said no one in NY state had it in stock. Are they taking advantage of me or does this sound feasible?

    There are cracks in more lines than you can see. I would just replace it all with the kit the dealer is selling you.
