    Did he say Detroit, or did he say Fenton?

    My Coil Wire is shocked the sh*t out of Me ...It's probably been arcing all over the Motor and Frame...and has been the real problem all along...

    I try to explain to people about taking their car to the side shops, they might have a cheaper labor rate, but you will be paying for all the parts they can’t return. Bring a Ford to a ford dealer and a Chevy to a Chevy dealer. They know most of the time the common problems to fix things. If the side shop puts on the wrong EGO sensor, you will pay for both of them because he can’t return it. Your welcome for the shop tips.

    Mornin Ho's !

    The side shop is Me !!!!!(with advice from a Mechanic and the Chevy Astro Forum)

    Our two dealerships don't have a stellar reputation ...Hard to get good people.

    After I switched out the coil wire it ran perfectly all the way to the gas station...and I decided to reward Her with 93 Octane....

    Which promptly caused the same issues of stumbling at idle ...Back to 87 !!!!!!

    I can understand the mechanics shortage, it is a challenge everywhere to find one. I have two great techs, I told them i’m Retiring when they retire. I don’t want to go thru finding another one.

    Why bother. It’s a KW thing whether idling or walking stumbling is an acceptable way of life.
