Code time! <3 aerotech
P0131 - Upstream heated O2 sensor circuit - low voltage (Bank 1, Sensor 1) (Dunno, I plugged in the gauge while the car was running and it was on that setting from previously so I think starting the gauge on that display may have upset the DTC lol)
P0300 - Random Misfiring (pfft you know...)
P1610 - Loss of PZM Serial Data (What?)
P1602 - Knock Sensor (KS) Module Performance (...not sure)
P1626 - Theft Deterrent Fuel Enable Signal Not Received (reason my security light comes on randomly?)

BCM problems XI?

Right now we are back to where I started... 3 & 4 injectors are misfiring like crazy... 4 is worse than 3 by a great amount.

Previously, 3 & 4 were clogged, 3 being worse than 4... injectors changed, worked ok for a short while.

So far, new new pump, new filter, new ICM, new gas since then, engine seems to be overheating easy from my perspective, drove just a little bit up/down their road to test for sound.. 221F and I was only going 20mph. Testing for sound b/c of the fuel pump, whenever there was a hollow or b000m sound in 4 you can hear it in the exhaust, as well resistance on the fuel pump from what it sounded like.

my PCM wont allow them to do a leak test or w/e .. where they fire the injector individually to see the fuel pressure drop

try going to a junkyard and getting a factory grand am PCM... then replace the factory one and let them screw with it all they want. When the problem is fixed but the DHP one back in

last night sucked. well it was fine until i had to go to sleep....

it took me forever to fall asleep. i just didn't feel tired for some reason. once i did manage to go to sleep, i woke up at about 4 am and my stomach felt like it was on FIRE. I'm serious, it KILLED (not quite like a kidney stone hurts but it sucked). I almost threw up because my stomach was churning and on fire. I really have no idea what the hell happened but I took pepto bismol and it just made it worse, so i started eating antacids and i dont think that really helped either. I finally went into my living room and layed down on my futon and managed to fall asleep like almost an hour later. now my stomach is still messed up but i'm surviving and at work... this could be a very, very long day..........

Gir: Good luck with that job interview that you just had... hopefully something good comes out of it. I'm "networking" right now and see if i can in someplace through people.... For the g/a... from the codes that came up it sort of sounds like a BCM issue with teh security and the serial data.... and at that point the knock sensor could be too. For the misfire... I dunno. Why exactly they couldn't do a pressure test or leak test? that sounds a little odd.

Vipey: I can sympathize with you on the sleep part and the stomach part. I normally have a hard time falling the sleep all the time. so i lay awake until 1-2 am easily if not later. As far as the stomach stuff... becareful with that, if your not prone to stomach problems.... like me . Damn family genetics! Just make sure you didn't eat something out of the ordinary that would have caused it.. and pepto can be your friend! MMMMM Pink Chalky liquid that tastes like Peppomint breathsavers... opcorn:

Wow that is alot of codes for just having it in the shop.
P1610 is the BCM and its probley not working. Does your SVS light come on right after you start the car ?
This is the only code my GT has continuously thrown.
Mine /iswas caused by the water leaking on my fuse box(s).
Toasting the BCM.
If you have to get a used one it has to have the same options as your car, ie power windows, same stereo etc etc. AND these have to be programed by a stealerships Tech II scan tool.

I'd try clearing them all and see if they come back.
Could have been that you connected the gauge while it was running.

On the stomach problems if it wasnt food poisoning...
Or maybe it could be all that Grey Goose

You werent hungry were you ?
When mine get empty It'll hurt like a "B" !!

Oh yea and Dew's, they'll make my stomache feel like its on fire and nothing puts it out but foood, oh and myNexium

eh... thought so

today I get to make plans to try and swap out my injectors opcorn:

the security one tho is something that comes back randomly at times.. it turns off after the car is shut-off and doesnt come back till the code is thrown again...

yeah my stomach hurts like a bitch when im hungry too... it suxxors. Maybe I have an ulcer or something? Going to bdubs today to find out

Pepto did the same thing to me last night... If the stomach problems continue eat some yogurt for the next few days...( a serving or two a day) It'll balance everything out.

Speaking of stomachs hurtin for food... Mine is right now... and it's growlin pretty loud... better go find something before my stomach eat's itself.
