The DDM header is 4-1 and the DDM tune will ELIMINATE codes.

I threw a code booting it onto I-240 in Asheville Friday afternoon, so I will read that this afternoon and make it go away.

My gut suspicion is mass air sensor reading voltage out of range (high voltage spike = too much air flow or turbulence)  :lol:
The Proto Ram air box is gone and replaced with their CAI.
Last week, before I picked up SLY, OnStar tossed a service air cleaner and 0% oil life report, do dah.
The DIC is showing 25%  :idk:

She married?  If not you know your job.  If POV's aren't authorized, then they don't have an auto hobby shop do they?
She's single for a reason...  No auto hobby shop here, there's no room for it!

Seems to be standard across the industry. I had that happen to me a few years ago as well with another car. I guess it'd be too much trouble to read the sticker on the door jam.   :slap:

Took the cover off and took a top down run to the bosses house.  I was being a dumb ass and couldn't get a new computer to work.   Took Joe about 5 minutes.  Drove back with the top down as well.

^^^If you look closely at the pics. It a hose dress-up kit for hoses. That most auto stores carries. You can see the worm clamp under the Red nut cover.

IBDRINKEN ; I got the Kits from Advance Auto 30 inch x3/8  think they were 23.00?   Jegs also have them in their Parts Catalog 6ft 3/8 (ssflex hose) p#865-29406   16.99  and  (4)  3/8 (magna clamps ) p#865-2260  6.99 x 2    Clamps come (2) per pack

 16.99+13.98 = 30.97 +s&h 

    go to    JEGS.COM          put in p#   Hope this helps

Put on some new used wheels. Doesn't even look like the same car. Got numerous compliments. It must have been my smile. ;)
