ap4u06,


I am sorry to hear that you’re experiencing issues with your vehicle. Have you spoken with your local dealership about this issue?


Thank you!

Elizabeth, Chevrolet Customer Service

How many miles are on it? If it still has the original plugs and plug wires and a lot of miles, it may be time for a tune up. Check your throttle body too. It may need a good cleaning. Mine had 74,000 miles on it when I got it and I changed the plugs and wires and cleaned the throttle body, put in a new cabin filter and air filter too. I'll change the filters ever 15,000 miles or so and the plugs and wires should be good for another 100,000 miles.
