Hi all,
I just recently picked up my parents 02 SS...62,000...clean...black w/black interior...runs awesome...except after it warms up the idle jumps around,sometimes to the point where i have to feather the gas...
I also have a 03 Silverado SS...so I was hoping to drive the Monte for the gas mileage...The Monte is a real beauty though.
Im just north of Philly...so looking forward to this for info on my new car!

Peace,
Rob

Welcome to MCF! Be sure to post some photos of your Monte and add info about it in the Garage section of your profile when you get a chance.

Welcome!
Sounds like you have a little work to do on the Monte. You might want to start with cleaning the MAF sensor (make sure to use the MAF sensor cleaner, other things like carb clean could damage it). Also check your vacuum lines. Those are the cheap/easy things I'd start with.
