UPDATE: looks like its my throttle body that was defective... the dealership tested the car for 4 days and 100 Km's. They want me to go take the car back... still no meeting with GM rep, or they dont want to meet me since the problem is "fixed" (altho they dont care that the car spent a month in the shop while I was still paying for it). Callin the lawyer see what he thinks...

That DOES seem like an unreasonable amount of time for them to deal with the issue, but I doubt they'll buy it back unless it continues to stall on you.What fuel do you regularily use? Is that what was in the car when the stalling occurred? How many kms is currently on the car??

As it stands I have the car... I think its still running rich becasue from idle, if I floor it (understand by flooring I mean, pressing the gas full till i hit 4500-5000 RPM) the engine will first bog down, accept the throttle, then once gas released, it goes back to 1500 rpm, goes up to 2300 then back down to 900 (complete idle) as of yet I has not stalled in 3 days, although I only put 64KM's since I got it back. Fuel wise I use Super 91 octane minimun from Petro Canada mostly sometimes Esso. I have gone through a few tanks of gas... the stalling issue still replicated with 'new' gas in the tank if that's the question... and WOT the car stands at 2200 KM's... :S

so far all that has been done for that problem:

- 3 Sets of plugs
- 1 computer reprogram (reflash)
- 1 new throttle body

other things fixed:

- warped rotors (that mind u still pulsate a slight bit)
- tranny TSB


the car goes back tuesday in the shop... its been a weekly visit for 1.5 month straight now... wish someone would steal and burn it.

WOT, the floor is yours bro...
