My 2000 venture began shifting hard after it was warmed up and intermittently would lose power and have difficulty accelerating. My check engine light came on but the only code was P0101 and one time the check engine light started flashing while driving.
I bought a used MAF sensor from the local junk yard and amazingly it solved all the problems. No more hard shifting or loss of power.

Expertise
I can answer most questions on Chevrolet vehicles up to 1996, or before the ODBII.
Experience
I have been working on cars since I was eight, when I started handing my dad wrenches. I did my first complete rebuild at 14, and my first restoration at 16. When it comes to Chevy, if I don't know the answer off the top of my head, I can find it out fairly quickly. (My entire family is a bunch of gear heads.)
Education/Credentials
4 year machinist degree, with a 2 year mechanical drafting.
