Maf or mass air flow sensor bad.
it is normally on the front of the engine on the intake manifold, but go to the parts store give them the year and make and model and engine number see if they have one and if they do look at it and buy it take it home and look for it on the car it won't be hard to find when you have the sample.
it has to have a air flow sensor ask them what it uses to take barometric pressure and air flow volum mesurement it has one it just not called by that name, I will find out and post you the name of it later today.
this car has a mass air flow sensor, the part Number is 74-50015 and runs about $121.44 for a remanufactured one You can buy at schucks or nappa or Autozone so they guys you spoke to had no clue. go back and tell them this number and then ifthey don't believe that call your local GM dealer and they will tell you that it has one and that it will cause your problem. Hope this helps.
your most welcome, I don't want ya not having your car,andI know them things that byte in in the hind end, tried three day to figure one out checked every thing computer fuel pump plug wires on and on, and I was not charging for it cause I was not fing it then I saw that device on the car and askedsomoe what it was and they told me their funtion so bought it out of my pocket put it on then it ran like a new car! coustemer was happy my boss was happy and I am glad I got it fixed I thought I was going to have to marry it!
