trouble code
The mechanic that initially looked at it didn't state a specific code.He said that i'd have to leave it for a week or so for him to figure it out. Didn't feel real confident with him. I'ii let you know when i find out.The mechanic that has it now is waiting on the proper equip. to read the codes. I know that mech # 1 never hooked anything up. Just said that yep it was showing a lean code. This was after i told him that the local chevy dealer told me it was running lean but they couldn't work on it.Swear to god!

I would look for another shop that knows what they are doing.

My mileage tanked to 11 mi. gal. took it to a chevy dealer and they said that it was running lean but they couldn't work on it. the guy that was recommended still has it. he's waiting for the right diagnostic tool in order to read the specific code. I believe he knows what he's doing. HE FIXED THE AC . ANOTHER ITEM THAT THE DEALERSHIP COULD NOT WORK ON.sHOULD HAVE IT THIS WEEK. THANKS.

Leave it for a week?? Any halfway decent tech can pull codes within 30 seconds. You can do yourself with a paperclip in about the same amount of time. Reputable auto repair shops will have OBD1 code readers that will show the trouble codes and from there a good tech can start the required diagnostic procedures.
I would look for another shop that knows what they are doing.
