    I took my 01 Chevy in to the dealer today to deal with a couple of minor issues - the first one was the switch in the steering column was shot - whenever I tilted the steering wheel the lights would flicker - parts were in stock so I assume it has happened before. Number two was the drain valve on the bottom of the rad had starting leaking coolant on the garage floor at night - dealer replaced the whole valve as the o-ring on the old one was shot out. The SES light had been on for a day or two as well so I told them to check that out as well - when the mechanic phones he says "Oh ya, we had to order you a new injection pump too - that's what your SES light was all about" First question I have is is it covered by warranty - dealer assures me that it is - the truck has 115,000 km on it (70,000 miles) For some reason the fuel pressure was extremely irregular - to the tune of about 5000 lbs pressure at times - hopefully this solves my annoying idle flare as well as the cackle it seemed to develop since the SES light came on - anyone else had this problem????

    P.S. I know my PictureTrail account has expired - are there any other free sites out there guys are using to post pics???

    Thanks!!!

    Barc,

    Do you regularly use any type of fuel additive? If so, what brand?

    My injector pump was replaced at 38,000 miles. I had an irregular idle. Would skip a beat every 8 to 12 seconds. At first, did not do it all the time, but after a while it was fairly consistent. Never triggered SES light. Was covered under warranty including a loaner car.

    Yes, the injector pump is covered under the 100,000 mile engine warranty, and yes, it will fix your idle surge problem.
