Some owners may comment on an intermittent hesitation on acceleration during engine warm-up. No PCM diagnostic trouble codes will be stored, and no MIL will illuminate.
In some instances, the PCM fueling strategy may not be optimized during certain ambient temperatures.
The Calibrations are electronic calibrations and are NOT available from GMSPO. Calibrations are available from Techline starting September 2001, on the TIS 2000 version TIS 10.0/2001 data update or later.
