You may also want to consider checking all of your sensors.

I'm planning on a tune up this spring. Plugs, wires, cap, etc. I'll use AC/Delcoirridium plugs. They are recommended for LSx engines, so they should do the trick well in a 4.3L.

I use GM parts, usually GM Performance parts, and I buy from GM Parts House at http://www.gmpartshouse.com

I use sythetic oil and change every 5k miles. I also change the air filter at every oil change.

Replace your vacuum hoses, especially if they turn your hands black when you touch them.
