I replaced the coils and plugs this past weekend and I have not had a code yet. Still have a rough idle but I know that there are some more work to do. Good luck with yours as well.

Does it work in reverse? Will a bad catalytic converter cause misfires? Reason I’m asking is because since getting my OBD2 and Fusion app, the coolant temp is reading 190. This may have been going on for longer than I was aware as I was not the main driver. 🙄

Wound up sleeving the two pieces together using a piece of vacuum tubing from autozone. Runs a little bit better but still got a flashing SES light. This time it gave a P0300 code.

Thanks once again Moose for your reply. I’m still working through it all to get it set up in a cool looking, yet informative way. Is your head unit just like an Android tablet or is it an actual in dash stereo that runs on the Android platform?

Anyone using OBD Fusion have a recommendation as to which gauges to monitor on the dashboards? I just got it today and I’m trying to figure out how to get the most out of it. Opening this up to others using different apps...what do you monitor in real time?

T Thank you Moose, appreciate the speedy response.

Last week I changed my leaking Heater Control Valve (#23 in the picture) and I damaged the vacuum line (#1 and #2) without realizing. While trying to find a fix for the damaged line it broke completely. I spoke with a local GM Parts department and was told that #2 was discontinued and #1 they...

Does GMTnation still work with Pushover? I don’t see it listed on their list of sites and apps.

I am having the exact same symptoms with my ‘03 EXT. I took it to AutoZone yesterday to have the codes read and there a no stored codes. We checked it twice. It has 142k miles on it. Plugs were changed in 2011 about 65k miles ago, coils have never been changed. Recently replaced fuel filter...

Thanks for providing these two pictures, they really helped me out a lot with the troubleshooting and repair.

I remember reading about this happening years ago but I didn't think about it today. I was lucky that it stopped on an entrance ramp before I accelerated to 70. That would have been an adventure.

As I was waiting for the tow early this morning, the ignition switch was my gut feel. I got away from that after reading about some of the other possibilities. But anyways it is fixed now. Thanks again.

That was it. As soon as I put the new ignition switch in the dash lit up. Thanks for everyone's help but most of all thank you Roadie.

Damn the cover was tough to get off. So if I understand your wire color guide, with the key in RUN I should be seeing voltage from the Red and White, Red and Orange, Red/White and Brown, Red/White and Pink?
