Going lean!

am having this issue that while normal driving i give it about 10% of gas and the car goes straight lean no matter what gear am on. the car feels like its struggling. on wot it went 12.5afr so i got off of it rightaway. The car sounds and iddles normal, not sure what this can be. it happened about a month ago but it went away the same day..

Any ideas? anyone with a similar situation? any help is apreciated!

jonathan923 and 07LSJ,

While I am unable to help by providing any technical information, if either of you should decide to work with your dealership (understand this isn't always a viable option) please be sure to let me know! I'm here to assist in whatever ways I can.

Regards,
Sarah
GM Customer Service

Your car has caught the Gay Herpes. Only solution is to bathe it in gasoline, then set it on fire. Suggest you push it into Biscayne Bay while it is still burning, as the sudden temperature change coupled with the salinty of the water will almost certainly eradicate the virus.



If not, have me log it with HPT when it does it, and we can see what's going on.

Please, please contact me before you give the dealer a ton of money. I guarantee I can do a better job than 95% of the hack-job techs down here and I will be much more fair on the price.
