It looks like we all need a fix to this fuse pull or battery disconnect.. I agree fuse pull should be all that is needed, BUT !!!! I tried it over and over and over, and run 93 octane all the time... Car was def down on power [might as well bought the v6] --- So i tried the battery disconnect and it worked !!!!. Car had the pull and power it should.. - Why fuse pull didnt do it ??? - I was going to start a search thru wiring diagram's and anything to see why but never did.... Car tho after driving for a week would start to loose the power and then back to the samo samo, and i have to disconect battery again..- Got sick of it.... didnt buy veh to have to do this.. Was also gonna see if the LS3 was detecting false spark knock from our noisey tran's and drive train, and causing it to retard timing ??????? mmmmmmmmm Could be something for someone to check put........... I got sick of it, sooo sold the CAMARO SS.. GM Will never address this, just like the rs i had a that now and then would loose going into second, and the gear clash.. shame on gm;;; SOLD camaro, and im back in a Corvette....

I bought my 2010 LS3 from a dealership that would put regular gas in it. I did the fuse pull last night. I definately noticed the difference. It's worth the 2 min it takes to pull out the fuses. I also let it sit over night. This thread was very helpful.

My car sat in storage all winter long and when I pulled it out I installed Solo High Flow cats and Cold Air Induction intake with air scoop and it seemed like I didn't gain any power whatsoever from these mods. I decided to do a fuse pull and let it sit over night. The next day I put the fuses back in and wow! There is a tremendous difference. I can actually say that my car has more pep in it and the power from the mods are now noticeable.

I have 1/2 a tank of 89 to burn up, fill with premium, and try this.

I'd run it down to near empty...maybe run down another tank then fill up with premium...half tank of low octane might be too much to change the setting with a fuse pull....

There is 1/2 a tank of 89 in it now, I plan on running it till almost empty, filling it with premium, drive 2 miles home, then pull the fuses. Or are you saying I should run a full tank of premium through it before I pull the fuses? I have been running 89 since I got it almost a year ago.

Yes what 90503 said. Burn at least a 1/2 tank of the good stuff or even a full tank just to make sure

That makes sense.

Ive been running 93 octane since I got my car, I know the dealer put in 87 so when than ran out ive been running only 93 octane. Did the fuse pull today and in the morning I will reinstall them into my SS and see what happens!

SSizzlin' · 06-25-2012, 09:11 PM

Same number fuse pulls(5, 20) for 2012 LS3's??

Kiss My SS · 06-26-2012, 10:17 PM

I did my fuse pull and let it sit overnight. I defintely noticed more pep and and stronger pull in 1st and 2nd gear....Defintely worth doing especially when its FREE!

My experience on the fuse pull. We ran two tanks of 93 octane. Pulled the two fuses, let it set overnight.
The following morning, installed the fuses, fired it up and let it idle for about two minutes. The idle was NOT any smoother, at first. We did moderate driving for about 15 minutes, around the neighborhood. It seemed a little more responsive, but not 'pin your butt to the seat' responsive.
Today, two days after the fuse pull my wife drives the car to Austin (its her daily driver). She calls me and says "the car seems to run smoother.." And she says "it goes faster when I give it gas..." Interpretation: She noticed a difference in the fuse pull.
So, overall, I'm pleased.
