    I have had it with all the problems with the gms cars i have had.
    Car is unreliable i cant trust it to operate correctly.

    My first major issue was with ABS then it moved to maf now it is 02 now it is all 3 again at once.

    I am throwing 5codes for the MAF and o2 issues.
    ABS holy cow man. IF i hit a major bump light comes on with brake light and feels like i now have a brake dragging in which i do. Left front I have to bring car to a complete stop and restart car and it is fine until it pops up can be several times a day can be once a week.

    Tonight i thought i fixed my 02 issue by doing the spoof for the rear which stopped the blowing of fuses. Went driving for 2+ hrs and no problem then all of a sudden light. Thought great blown fuse again for 02 nope that is still good. Cant get it read until tomorrow.

    O ya and car is piss ass slow even when running right. I had a ****in RAV 4 pull on me doing about 70 i dont know how long he has been floored but i hit it i got ahead with the 3-2 ds on the high way then we were even then he started to edge out. a ****in Toyota SUV I4 rav 4.

    I dont know if i want to take the possible 500 the junk yard wants for it or see it totaled.

    Ok so i took my pcm out and put stock pcm back in. Guess what? NO SES LIGHT. Drove around for 15 min and nothing. So i let the zzp pcm sit over night 10hrs unhooked put back in today ses light was on as soon as car started. Like the pcm did not reset. Heck car started right up.

    So is it my zzp pcm that could be causing my problems all my problems?

    And how do i reset the codes from the computer with out a reader if unhooking for hours does not work.

    I'd hate to see you get rid of your car because of a bogus PCM.....I wish I could help, but I haven't even built my off board reader yet....this might be time to get in gear for this thing.

    this car is still easier and cheaper to fix than nearly any other car out there.

    ****, if you are going to give it to a junkyard for $500, give it to me so I can fix it up and sell it for a profit at the Weds night Auto Auction I go to. Even if I don't fix it up all the way, i'll make money.

    I donno the deal with the car dude, I think it's had a rough life previously and you got the short end of the stick. I have yet to have any problems with any high mileage GM cars so I don't think GM is to blame at all honestly.

    check all your wiring and connections. i was pulling on the pcm one time and striped the wire going to the wheel sensor i guess but it controlled abs. when ever i would hit a bump it would go off. all i did was splice it back together and ive had no problems.
