98 burban, 5.3., TBI. came in for an intake gasket. tried to leave...but owner and we (the shop) feel it has a lack of power (drive) after we touched it. we have re-done the intake 3 TIMES...3rd time we did it by the book. have replaced new sparks, spark wires, cap, rotor. We tried a new EGR solenoid valve...no change. New MAP sensor... to no avail. New O2 sensor. ALL connections (sensors, wiring harness) are connected. Timing is correct (0 degrees) and is advancing properly (10 degrees + with RPM). once, a sulphur smell came from tailpipe...went away. also in park, or under heavy load, SOME black smoke comes from Tailpipe. Drilled "speedholes" (shop joke) in tailpipe before cat. conv...gave a very slight increase in power. We thought that cat. conv. is choked. Now it's thought that the EGR valve is bad. Oil is clean, and it could use a slight amt of ATF. NOT THROWING CODE
I personally (as well as the shop) would very much appreciate a viable solution to get this POS out of our bay.

When weather is dry there is absolutely no problem. I have tried a silicon spray, which did help, but only for a day or two. Sure would appreciate some help.

What are they doing to help put a stop to the over use of oils, wouldn't it be nice if we didn't have to pay $3.00 for every galon. What are they doing to help put a stop to this and to help find a new better way of transportation?

I have a 96 Chevy Lumina minivan. The heater and the air conditioning just stopped working, (no heat no cool air) although the fan is still working. Anyone tell me what's wrong and how much it might cost to fix?

People are driving faster than before the fuel hikes, they seem to be in a big hurry, driving like they are crazy, cutting other cars off in order to get there faster. What's wrong with this picture?
