could be the gas, o2, plugs, coil pack, or a throttle body/pedal..

gas is gonna run through, if the problem gets worse, or is not gone halfway through the next tank i would get it looked at.

the o2 has gone bad on my car, but when it went, mine would run at all. Not sure who else had theirs dones (wolf?)

plugs and coil pack would through a code, any codes?

throttle body or pedal SHOULD throw a code..

my car has a slight dead spot feel right of a stop, i've decided it a delay in the dbw, i've learn to lessen the hesitation by changing how i accelerate from a stop.

Try dumping a red bottle of HEET in it and see what happens. After that if it's still doing it check the gap on your plugs and check to make sure the porcelain isn't cracked. If that's not it you've probably got a bad o2 or an arcing coil.

are you not under warranty?

gmpartsdirect is a dealership, that sells wholesale online.. there are a few others, but it doesn't mean any of them have the parts you need in stock.

so the other night when PA had the snow storm i was coming home from work and had to help a few people push their cars back on the road (rt 100) so i put the flashers on. they worked but it amazed me.. they were dimming my headlights... i like this car but i think i got a dud.. nothing but problems.
