So, i gots me a new ride. Guy at work has had this Lumina for about 1.5yrs, and the last 8months it's been sitting due to not passing emissions, and with that said you can't renew the plates. So it had issues, like a bad misfire, brake lights sometimes don't work, etc. So the funny story...
I go straight to Autozone GET IN THE ZONE BITCHES, and got them codes read. I figured it needed a coil, or wire, plug, etc. Nope, said it had a bad injector. Well this bitch has the 3100, garbage motor like the 3800. I bought a new injector for $80!!!!
and started working on it today. Pull everything apart, slowly finding out it recently had the intake gaskets done 
and notice, the effin plug just fell off. It fell off. It fell the fuck off! So i popped that bitch back on, put everything back together, and kaplow, perfectly awesome DD/Winter car for under $501. Been driving it around all day today, it's pretty nice.
pics, i'll get more tomorrow

it's a beast. I talk a lot of shit about GM cars with motors like this, but in all fairness, I guarantee this thing will last another 100,000k easy, and it cost next to nothing. This is why, no matter what, I will return to 3100, 3400, or 3800 junk for a long time lol.
:csi:
you had me LMAO'ing in the middle of a company meeting. Nice work! 
For real though, this thing is pretty awesome. I do however, have one big issue with it.. IDK WTF GM was thinking when they put this tiny weak little 3100 into a car so big. The poor motor is working it's ass off just trying to keep up with regular traffic 
Hopefully it sips fuel, which me reminds me. This is the 2nd car i've ever owned out of 16 that uses REGULAR fuel 
it's a 98, really strong runner though. As long as it takes me through the winter, i'm all good. Or even half way through the winter, tough to even find a running car for $500 nowadays. It was definitely a lucky grab, that's for damn sure.
...cause it'd cost ya nothing to tune that bitch with a dhp
