What were the codes - 19 is crank sensor.

Cleaning the ICV with carb cleaner costs very little, doesn't take long and could well cure your problem - try it first!

Its crank sensor symptoms.  Every v6 owner should carry a spare ;D

Your car could take 1 of 2 types, most likely the plastic type.

Stick to genuine GM for this part if possible.

Hi
    This sounds to me to be the air mass sencer in the trucking from the air filter, may be the fuse link is on the way out, usual signs may be engine hot but temp ok, fuel comsumtion a bit high if you can souce another to try first, they are expensive about 80.00 plus and i think their are two.
    See how you go  :)
