im pretty sure my truck has the same symptoms its fine at cold start but at operating temperature it stumbles a little bit and gets close to dying

No codes or CEL? If no, replace that damn thing. Get a Delphi one, one of the easiest things you'll ever replace on the truck and its cheap.

Don't use platinum plugs. For some reason our motors hate them. The best plug for a gen 1 is a copper Autolite or Delco plug. And of all the parts you replaced, did you ever change your CTS? Coil?

AMEN TO THIS! i refuse to use any kind of Bosch plugs unless they come in a car factory, i have done 3 tune ups with customer supplied bosch plugs and all three had problems, two of them came back missing like crazy, one (a V6 camaro) wouldnt even start after i put them in so after that i refuse to put them in anything.... for some reason parts stores really push those pieces of crap :p

Did you get an AC Delco or Delphi CTS? Or a cheap store brand?

Yeah I'd get a AC Delco or Delphi one, Bosch is junk.

TunerPro works with OBDI vehicles. Then you get this:

http://aldlcable.com/sc/details.asp?item=aldlobd1u

Which is an OBDI USB ALDL cable. Ive been using this tuning setup ( along with burning equipment from moates.net ) to tune my car for a long time.

Just go to TunerPro.net and download the BIN and Datastream definitions for your truck...


Before anything - sorry Chris I had to threadjack somewhat -.-
I've got TunerPro, can't find BIN or Datastream definitions for my truck.. if you could help that would be unreal.


AND back on topic.. Chris.. you weren't throwing any codes during all this? and it was your O2 sensor? The ****.. was this 92 or 98?
