Looks like I may have answered my own question last night. I did a deep clean on the throttle body (and as far back in as I could access). The idle is HUGELY improved, though still not perfect on this 28° morning. Is that really all it was? I'd love to hear your comments if you've had the same experience.

Answer in progress. California Consumer Protections Although California Civil Code (section 1793.03) specify three-year minimum (seven years for sets or appliances priced $100 and up) for electronics and household appliances (regardless of warranty), I could not find similar provision in that particular law for the automotive parts availability. However, ...

I finally figured out what the problem is here. GM apparently has put in a "PassLock" system that reads something to do with the key on startup. If anything goes wrong (invalid key, electrical problems, etc) the fuel system is disabled for 10 minutes. Just thought I would let everyone know in case this problem comes up again.

Here is the schematic showing how the mega fuse should be wired in, you obviously don't have the second battery option but that mega fuse is on vehicles with only one battery as well. You can tell for sure by checking the option label (approx 3x5 inch white label with black writing with a bunch of 3 digit codes) in the glove box. If you have ZM9 listed then ...

You could squeeze the tire onto a 8in rim and if you wanted that "bubbled out" look. You should be able to even get away with getting them to fit on a little wider of a wheel (10.5/11in) as well but I wouldn't ...

I would suggest taking the starter out and bring it to your local auto parts store. Most can test it to verify it is bad. There is the oddball chance that the engine may be overheating and something is binding internally. While installing the new starter verify that the heat shield is intact and that the battery cables are clean tight and in good shape. ...

It could be the fuel pump, especially if the pressure is low. However it could also be that the fuel filter is clogged. It might be about time to replace the fuel filter anyway, I would go ahead and do that no matter what assuming it is easy to get to. (Sometimes they are hidden above the fuel tank and a pain to reach.) If the starter is turning and you ...
