Hi eatbread8,

Welcome to the Chevy Forums.

Today's cars have much more dependable ignition components than in the past, but the weak link seems to be the spark plugs. Whatever GM brags for your plug life, cut it in half.

For instance, "100,000 Mile Iridiums"? Yeah. Change them at 50K.

After all, the "Mass Air Flow Sensor" was bad!, $140 replacement. Thanks for the help have not had any other issues starting.
