Is that only if there is a complete loss of vacuum or just a little bit? I am running at about 12hg when idle and last time I changed my plugs they were wet. I am going to go get a bunch of vacuum hose and replace it all when I tear my car apart next weekend.
And would that also make my MPG go way down???? (I am not trying to jake this thread. Just wondering because I know Alias is having vacuum problems to right?)

Ok well I was able to take a couple of my spark plugs out today. Neither of them were dripping wet, in fact, they were both like bone dry.... Does that mean I am not running rich?
I will be replacing the CTS in a little while here, I want to let me engine cool for a little bit.

Alias:
when you last did your oil, did you put in the same oil filter the car came with (the big one) or did you put in one form like K&N that is smaller. if you did, that would defanitly cause you to have a high oil level
when i did the oil first time on my car, i did that and it read high somethin like urs. go back to the bigger filter, these engines need all that extra oil for cooling becuase of the turbo and such
