I had my car to the Gm dealer to pick up parts, would not start, they said at first it was my security system, next day they claimed it was the ignition switch, while there the reporgramed the powertrain module. The car ran good for a day & 1/2, now the two center injectors keep fouling up. Changed the fuel filter, had pressure checked, changed the coil pak. Car idles very rough, not impressed witht he way the garages have been troubleshooting this and it is very costly and yes, still have the problem.

Has anyone experienced simular problems or can suggest a direction to look

i would have ti think that is would be like your engine manigment system going bad or something, bad connection, i had something like that with my old 3100, it would die sitting at idol and i took it to a dealership and they said it was a computer controll thing and they replaced it, cost like $100

Check the throttle position sensor TPS
Place a screw diver on the injectors and your ear on the oter end and listen to hear a clicking to see if they are working or pill the plug out to check if there is fuel on it.

If not for the money you spend at the local hack shop you could take it to the dealer and get it fixed the first time if they dontfix it the 1st time complain till the fix it right for free.
