shudder under load, sometimes
In my 99 Monte carlo 3.1L with 133k on it. been occuring for for the last 2 years maybe... this is in Southeast Missouri symptom: shudders at times, like a cylinder missfired ( best i can describe it at the moment) History: - the past winter(2 years ago i think) service engine light came on - went to auto zone, cylinder 4 misfire code, replaced wires at that time , no proof that did much - misfire code came on again last year during winter (pretty sure) did nothing - assumed misfire code 2 times in the past month, early month and late month - trans never serviced to my knowledge,but fluid is still at "full" level, bought second hand (the car) at 100k miles in "03 more conditional things: - doesn't do it constantly, seems slightly random at times - sub 50 degree weather usually makes it worse. - problem almost allways happens under 1500rpms, sometimes in all the gears. - this is normally more prevalent when not fully warmed up. - the car can stay in 4th down to about 33mph ~ 1100rpms? even uder about 1/3 throttle, shudder noticeable definatly up to 55mph at least under heavier throttle(no upshifting) - temp gauge in cold to fair weather, seldom sees what could be something close to 160 - 180 range, more like 140, maybe. but still warms up quickly, like allways : related?---or other problem--- - i do have a gas gauge that is almost allways full , only sees a resonable reading when left over night at house, on flat area, and started in the morn till i start to back down a hill (driveway) no, noone's putting gas in the thing my ideas: any of these crazy? - crank position sensor, iffy? - bad injectors? i have used the pour in cleaning stuff, sometimes more than's needed in 1 tank(bottle for 21gallons in a 16ish gallon tank), and tried several brands - bad coil? - M.A.S.? mass airflow sensor? new filters seem to do nothing also -- your part-- recommendations? suggestions? did you at least like my layout of this post? anything?

anticipated lsX
other than the possible supercharged 6.2L in the corvette, any ideas of this engine's designation and output #'s ? (not the specs from the escalade now) any news on this or ideas when (near official) news of this would appear?

New Enclave Pictures
white gauges for contrast, but they look illuminated blue, which is (by at least one study) supposed to help you stay more alert at night by the way, why should they be green? just asking edited for spelling/grammar mistake

GTO discontinued?
too bad gm could not have made an advertising thing out of this and give it the 6speed auto to appeal to more people, while improving milage also. but gm must have some plan for it soon.... right?

New Info 2007 LaCrosse
maybe they'll just use the HD versoin of the tranny to let the 3.6L put out it's max hp. or does the HD trans not fit w/ the 3.6? but could anyone complain about a v8? lol

Hot Tahoe fuels GM optimism
to really use the e-85 to it's full potential now, we'd have to up the compression ratio much closer to 12-13 since the E-85's octane is more like 100+ compared to the ratio's of mid 9's - 10s for 89 octane , that'd be like putting 21 - 33% more power in todays engines. (based on the every 1 more compression ratio increases power 10%) anyone concur?

3valves
when and where will this show up in GM's engines? i'd just take a guess at "09my (or before) with the v6's, because they could have the best responce for the midsize power and efficency boosts, the v8's should be close behind, w/ the 5.3 making closer to 340-350 hp any articles anyone found on this subject, that isn't the idea pdf on gm's media site? edited for a few spelling corrections

2008 Malibu
not saying it doesn't , i just don't like anything w/ a headphone aux input called an ipod input... most people would be all to confused between what it's called and an ipod interface. 2 pretty different things on topic....that'd be great if it has a facelift to make it even alittle more sporty than the ss 'bu allready does
