Hi Mark. Nice to see you today! I'm sorry to hear you are having this problem. I know this can be frustrating.
Please give me one moment to type out some information for you. Sit tight one minute... I'll be right back!
Thanks for holding, Mark.
GM has issued a Technical Service Bulletin that states the injectors can be cleaned with the use of a detergent fuel additive. These detergent fuel additives should be used when the vehicle exhibits loss of power, diminished performance, frequent stalls, or no starts, or when a noted decrease in fuel economy is observed. GM recommends the ACDelco fuel additive to clean the injectors. This is GM part number: 88865595. It sells for around $16. If the cleaner does not solve the issue, then unfortunately, replacement may be necessary. I have a link to the cleaner available on Amazon.com here: <u><strong><a id="312181776237&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand= *****************83&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9002251&hvtargid=pla-623685629927&psc=1" href="https://www.amazon.com/ACDelco-88865595-Fuel-System-Treatment/dp/B008I2H4NS/ref=asc_df_B008I2H4NS/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=312181776237&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=***************** 83&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9002251&hvtargid=pla-623685629927&psc=1" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://www.amazon.com/ACDelco-88865595-Fuel-System-Treatment/dp/B008I2H4NS/ref=asc_df_B008I2H4NS/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=312181776237&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand= ***************** 83&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9002251&hvtargid=pla-623685629927&psc=1</a></strong></u>
