lumina w/ 3.1 runs like crap when it is warm out

You can check codes in this by jumping terminals A and B in the aldl with a paper clip...then just count the flashes of the CEL...
 
Sorry for the crappy pics, but it is dark out:redneck:

TBI's don't have near the intake gasket issues that the 3100/3400's/even the 3800's do....but worth a look just the same...
 
The exhaust isn't unusual(smell or smoke) and it doesnt have a vacuum leak anywhere, but if all I gotta do is look at the intake to see if there is a puddle forming, no problem.

The only time the exhaust changes, is when it starts giving me issues. Even then, it only stinks. No smoke or steam.

Just another bit of info that may help in diagnosing or troubleshooting:D


OH! Sometimes it runs as though it has a miss too(maybe one cylinder). That is not all the time, but it is a somewhat common occurance.:awesomework:

Not sure how I forgot to add that to the original post???:scratchhead:^^^^^
