    Thanks for the fast response! We have actually changed both belts already. When we bought the car it had a leak around the Oil Sending Unit that had caused the motor mount to fail and it had caused the belts to squeak and bloat a bit. I talked a grand off the car for what amounted to a 150 dollar fix heh.

    I will definitely get that second O2 sensor replaced when I get the tune-up done as well. I really haven't noticed the car hitting a wall like you said on the highway or under WOT conditions, it runs fast as hell and seems to have a good power curve up to redline with no dead zones or bogging.

    Really nitpicking honestly, the car body is flawless, needs a little detailing but what used car doesn't? No paint scratches, flakes, or dents, interior is leather and spotless with no rips or cracks, everything works including the HUD which I've heard is pretty rare to have functional on used cars. Came with every option available I think except for the 40th anniversary package. Power sunroof is sexy too. I definitely know where to come when I cave in and start modding though.

    Edit: Awesome link btw, thanks a ton!

    Another thing to consider is if the catalytic has been replaced with say a magnaflow, it'll toss that code. Around 2000 GM got stricter in the pcm with the level of emissions. This caused a lot of guys that started puttin magnaflows on to have an emissions code.
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.
