It started in December, the check engine light started flashing and when I went to press the gas, it bogged down like it was sputtering. A big puff of white smoke came out. I took it to the local Chevy dealer. I dropped it off on a Monday. They said I should not be driving it with the engine light flashing. They said it was the #6 injector ($325). I said go ahead and replace that. I picked it up on Friday when it was ready. I did not even get a mile down the road and it did the same thing. Turned around and took it right back. A week later, they said it was the power control module that was bad. $407 replacement later, it was good for three days till it started sputtering, died on me and left me stranded 75 miles from home on 12/30. When it sputters, its a stinky, sweet gas smell. The shop said that it was running rich, then gas was not passing through correctly. So I had it towed to another local auto repair place. Thirty-two days later, my car was returned to me this past Friday. They replaced #5 injector and the wires. Today, I am driving along, come to a stop and it sputters and dies. Then the check engine light starts flashing again. So I am back to square one.
The dealership paper says scanned system (code P0200), tested and found history code for the #6 injector, replaced injector and cleared codes.
Could you think of anything that would affect this with moisture? I went through the car wash and its when it started. Today it dumped a ton of snow on us so the ground was moist.
