I'm not a lawyer but I believe you have 30 days with the dealer. Makes you wonder if the last owner had this problem since it happened so quickly.

The only problem is though, they have no idea whats wrong with it. I took it to them, and they said they have no idea. It was a small dealer.

Boy sounds like they are trying to blow you off. Did you suggest to them to check some of the things that was suggested on this thread? and how much time do they spend looking at it? Tell them thanks for the MERRY Christmas

haha. Yeah, i took it up and they said that they hooked the computer up, and said its not bringing any codes up. I think tommorrow or Monday, if their open, il take it to the actual GM garage and see if they can fix it. Im going to mention it to them.

Question, before i take it there, i was looking, and im not good at the newer vehicles, where would the fuel regulator be?

On the drivers side of the motor, in about the middle of the intake. It is round andhas a rubber vacuum hose going to it. It is attached to the fuel rail.
