Well guys after a while my SES light had been staying off and had not even came on for like 3 weeks or anything I was so happy.. I filled up with gas one day and boom! its back.. well I go to Napa since GM was doing stuff REALLY EXPIENSIVE and it hadnt helped. well they ran it up and P1361 came up AGAIN!! I can't believe this b.s. this light has been on forever! well they said it can be your plugs & or wires or it might be a few other things like my Ignition Controll module or my PCM.. well if anyone remembers GM changed my PCM, and myself and a few friends changed my Ignition Controll Module.. well I think to my self its not that.. someone was telling my that my SES light will come on all the time due the to fact that the way my Plug Wires run they sit to the Header and heat UP QUICK!!! well anyway they call me the next day and say they changed they Plugs and Wires that my Platinum Bosch Plugs that were 50 bux were cracked all because the platinum cant stand the heat and will eventually get really hot and crack and sometimes crack apart.. well my plug wires that were susposed to be 8mm were actually 7.5 and now they are 7mm due to them changing them, it stayed off for about 4 hours after I went and picked it up.. I went drove it to the dentist and then got done and drove it back to NAPA to let them check my AC.. well their messing with it and then they get done tell me its gonna cost me 850 to fix it I say forget that I always got windows!! and leave.. well I get in and its on, they come trace the codes same dang thing..!! this is happening again and again and again! they said well its 40 to run it on our computer and we paid it, this was the first time mind you! well after they find the 3 possiable things, they say we can narrow it down exactly for 160 more because it has to sit on the computer here. well we pay that and its still on! still !!!

guys im fed up with this dang car! its been through 3 belts here now in the past 6 months or so! and that shouldnt be happening! the new belt Napa had ordered for me is now DEAD!! or something, its squealing like a banshee! sometimes when I slow up or am stopping or freakin push in my clutch and dont have my foot on the gas or near it my RPM's raise and they stay up for a while!!???! whats that problem? I have no Idea? and whys my Belt thing squeaking? its horriffic Ive changed 2 pullies and my Alternator and its still going at it!.. My AC dosent works nore does my Heater sometimes my rear defrost dosent work. and my car is just seeming to be falling apart around me!

im at a loss also because its horriable.. Help someone please someone!! anyone got any ideas on what all is up? I want to sell it but I know I wouldnt get much from it. and I dont have no money to put with it to get even another V6.. im truely upset its crazy.

the problem with the belt might be the belt tensioner. the other stuff im not sure man, if it makes ya feel any better my A/C doesnt work either.

lol yea that helps some.. but 850 to get it fixed FUNK THAT!!

and its not making anything any better with all this other stuff.

the squal was gone for a long time then boom came back again!?! no clue whats going on with it?

thanks for the belt tensioner thing im gonna probally change it out!!

I washed it 2times just then by Ricks orders to calm me down and help me feel better. I must say it helped me feel a lot better! its probally just little things but gah ive been through it so many times im fed up! sorry for all the long posts but I just needed to rambel and FLAME some.!!

man justin, i hate to hear that. stay cool though, remember there is nothing broke that cant be fixed. I have been in your shoes. When my opti went out and all the shade tree mountain mechanics around here had no clue what was wrong with it, much less what an opti was.
