Hmmmm, that sounds more like a blown intake or head gasket to me. BUT, I'm not a mechanic, so don't take my word for it. Sounds like your "mechanic" screwed something up to me.

yeah i've been thinking the same thing. It ran great before I sent it in for that damn heater core, which I should have got off my lazy arse and changed myself to begin with.....

Im gonna see what the dealership says before I get into that whole mess.

green fluid thru PCV - not good at all. Does the coolant reservoir look like a milkshake?

sooooo..... This will be the final update I believe...... she is runnin like a freakin beast..... LOL

So I took her to the dealership and they took a look at it. I guess when Tracy's Automotive here in Wichita worked on it they damaged the grounds on the computer.....

$200 replaced the plug and everything by a Saturn professional and she runs like a bat out of hell! I love that car lol. I almost tried talking my wife into trading me for my civic :-). The fluid in the throttlebody.... The car was running sooooo rich that it was, I can't remember his words but, whatever creates the carbon build up. It was cutting out cuz when we hit a bump the ground would short out and cut the engine off for a split second.

Needless to say, happy wife, happy life.

Tracy's did say they would fix it for free cuz I called them when the dealership, Schofield GMC, told me what it was but my wife didn't trust them to touch the car again lol. I can't blame her.

Now to get her some non blown speakers and she will be the happiest woman ever lol. Thanks for all your help ppl. I appreciate it.

Glad to hear that there wasn't any engine damage and you got it fixed. I agree with "happy wife, happy life" ! Thanks for letting us know what it was.
