Desperate need of help please
I have a 03 trailblazer 4.2. I have recently tuned it up with all new filters, cleaned the tb and disconnected the batt. My problem is i am burning the mess out of gas. I noticed on my scanner that the calc load is 100% all the time unless you completely let off the gas then it goes to 30-35%. I noticed also that the upstream o2 sensor readings are so fast i hardly have time to read them. It has 145,000 miles on it. I am lost with this and do not know what to check. If anyone can please help me i would be greatly appreciated.

I Know First Hand Because Have Have Three People I Know With TrailBlazers The MPG On Gas Sucks As It Is You Could Try Cold Air Intake To Improve Mpg As long As You Don't Have A Heavy Foot And Possible A Performance Chip Its Gunna Run You A Lil Money My Cold Air For My 1990 Chevy K1500 Ran Me $220 and The Performance Chip was $70 not sure exactly How Much MPG Is Increased With Cold Air Intake But The Chip I Got Can Improve Up To 8mpg not saying it will that much ofcourse

I have heard good and bad about a cold air intake. Some have said its a gimmik and it does nothing. I will see what one will cost for it and see about a chip also. Thanks
