95 deville should be a 4.9l not a northstar, wot does not apply. "blowing out the carbon" wont hurt but don't over rev engine, keep it under 4500 rpm.

Northstar or not, an engine is made to work, and driving it at near idle speeds is not good for the longevity of the motor. Some of the longest lasting motors are ones that have been driven hard. I'm not suggesting abusing it, but if you want an engine to perform well, you have to allow it to do so. It helps reduce carbon buildup, and also allows all the components to work at their optimum, which is what an engine likes to do. It can keep you from getting clogged/dirty fuel injectors and all kinds of unwanted problems.

RE: Bad Gas Milegae
Have you check base timing? Do you know how to use the on-board diagnostics built in to car. There's more to it than just being able to get and clear codes.Are codes stored? Have you checked cat. conv. for being restricted? You stated TPS was replaced, how did you adjust / what is it set at?
