Check the trouble codes? Easy to do... need instructions? Do a google search on "chevy diagnostic codes" "gm diagnostic codes" etc. whatever instructions you use, all you need is a paper clip... don't buy a code reader.

Let us know what trouble code numbers you find. By the way, rev the engine to how many rpms?
