large leak in evap system..check fuel cap for being loose or off..tighten cap and have your codes cleared with computer

did you check the water ports on the head were they opened up with corrosion ,-- did you put the gasket on the right way round ,was it the right gasket with the right number of holes

check intake gasket for leaks...most common with high mileage..gm had a redesigned gasket that in green in color to repair this problem...hard to detect leak unless you really know what you are looking for..also check for proper fuel pressure and fuel filter

Remove the seat assembly turn it upside down cables come off the handle you pull on to slide seat, Follow these cables to 2 pawls that pivot on tracks and see if they are broken,bent,or just stuck and need cleaned and lubed.If you need new track slider assembly I use to be able to get them all the time from GM parts department and just replace tracks themselves.

Yes I do. There is a roll-over saftey switch on the vehicle. I don't know where it is,but it should tell you in your owners manual.

Its necessary to remove the heads to replace the lifters.

Hope you are talking about the front brakes,First check to see if the brakes are releasing the brake rotor.If they are not,it is posible the slide on the caliper need cleaning and lubed.Also could be the brake hoses colasping,and not allowing the piston in the brake calipers to release.Did you have the rotors turned?It could have something to do with it.Also what it probley is,that when you pushed the piston back in the caliper,you didn`t remove the master cylinder top off.Bleed the right front caliper,then the left front caliper,and then the master cylinder.This should clear it up.

if the codes are for random missfires you may need a set of plug wires,otherwise you will likely find the problem is in the distributer cap.

you may have a defective brake light switch or there could be a blown stop light fuse.

Things to check:

The air filter element for being restricted. An Airhog type air filter can be a problem if too much oil is sprayed on it.

MAF sensor for being installed in the proper direction and for foreign objects blocking the inlet screen.

For fuel in the pressure regulator hose. Also the fuel pressure should be tested. If its low the engine will run lean.

For excessive fuel in the crankcase. A bad injector(s) causes this.

As jaa278 said the 02 sensor(s) can be bad.

The catalytic converters should also be checked.

Your relay for the AC should be located under the hood.

check all of the fuses and u have 3 compartments 1 is under dash 2 is on side of dash and 3 is under hood

this depends on the ambiant air temperature outside, but in general with the A/C on max the low pressure side should be around 25 to 35 psi and the high side can range from about 200 to 325 psi every vehicle is different but that will give you an idea
