ya tomorrow i'm gonna tighten everything on the intake and exhaust (namely the manifold bolts) and check for any vacuum leaks. this is just pissin me off simply because the damn thing misfires on all 4 cylinders according to the tech 2 but i don't feel any misfires.

update guys. so i pulled my intake manifold off and found there was a bunch of oil in the manifold its self as well as a little bit in the intake tubing. so i did the fix for the pcv orifice, put it all back together. so far the maf seems to be reading where it should again, the LTFT's are around 6 in cell 17, no misfires and no knock. so we will see what happens in the coming hours. hopefully my luck will turn around now

you gotta have patients with cars. Every brand has a problem. Not to mention the minute you start modding it theres always a higher risk of you running into an issue.

used the acdelco fuel line cleaner. the stuff you just put in your gas tank.
so no cel but i have noticed that i have a weird idle now, almost like its misfiring but i checked all that before i left the shop. but given the amount of oil that was getting into my intake i wouldn't doubt that thats what is causing all of this. so i'll be checking it out tomorrow. that and getting an oil catch can and new silicon couplers for my intake.

so far no more cel thankfully. and i've done some redline shifts through 3 gears and still nothing. but when i scanned it, it was still running pretty lean, sprayed some throttle body and intake cleaner in the system and it went back down to normal so we will see how she goes. oh and after the throttle body cleaner it seemed to idle better.
