. Replace the platinum spark plugs (ACDelco only), if they have not been changed in the last 50,000 miles.

. Check the Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) Sensor, which affects fuel injector pulse width, if the problem persists. The ECT Sensor is a temperature dependent resistor (thermistor), whose resistance decreases as the engine coolant temperature increases. It provides a richer mixture when cold, leaner mixture when hot. They become corroded, due to not changing the coolant frequently enough, flood the engine, and waste a tremendous amount of fuel.
