Thanks for your help, and I too am glade it is working again.
By the way, you are spot on with the GM white paint job. It just peels off. The winters here in Utah have a lot of freeze thaw action keeping snow melt on the vehicle for long periods of time if it is'nt scraped off after each storm, but it seems that just water (rain) causes it to loosen and peel. (we get very little rain).
I was very surprised at the Recall notice about the valve cover and spark plug harnesses. This is a 98 and it is just now getting the recall??? Almost 20 years!! I would have thought they would have known about the oil leak onto the exhaust long before this!!! Too bad they don't have a recall for the horrible paint job. By the way, when I was at the dealer and asked about the paint, they said it was from the road salt used to melt the snow on the roads, but he didn't have and answer when I told him none of the other Chevy vehicles I have, had any problems with these conditions but this lumina.
Thanks again for your help.
