Took to Chev Dealer & they installed plugs, ign wires and new dist rotor. No change in symptom. Still bad gas mileage. Vehicle has 155K miles and is one owner-me. Most all driving is hiway. What should I do to get the engine performance back where it was and stop the erratic engine?
Check fuel pressure when it is acting up.
Post back fuel pressure readings
Any check engine lights on or flashing?
Any code stored in VCM?
