#230 Has a Problem - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Scott@Bjorn3D · 08-24-2009, 07:22 AM

Well after talking Randy into pulling his fuses and his car running great now and another forum member doing it and notice a good impovememnt I decided to do it to #230.

Well after GM came down the car ran alot better and would break loose some which it would not do before. In my morning 0-60 runs you can hear in my video she is breaking loose some and slowing me down.

Well this morning I went to the place I do the 0-60's and she broke loose allright. I counted around 26 feet of rubber on the ground and she was sliding side ways from a dead stop. Guess I better start using traction control. She only left 8 feet of rubber with that on.

Have to start thinking about new tires

Haha, you had me going thinking you had a recurring performance issue. Glad that all is well with your car now!!!

Number 3 · 08-24-2009, 08:18 AM

Glad your car is running like you had expected.

Dan3 · 08-24-2009, 08:23 AM

Had me going there. Gratz man, about time you really got your car.

CamaroSkooter · 08-24-2009, 08:32 AM

I must not have seen it, but what fuses are you pulling?

Scott@Bjorn3D · 08-24-2009, 08:43 AM

#5 and #20 in the engine bay fuse box, both are 15AMP fuses. I am not saying go do this if you car is running fine. It is just something I had Randy try since he was so mad at his car he was looking into Lemon Law.

shevyman · 08-24-2009, 08:46 AM

nice. now i can see some people don't care about there tires. lol i have yet to really get on my car. the one time i got them lose was cruising next to my bro in my tc and my friend who also was in a tc revved in second droped the clutch and got sideways at 45 miles. thats it after that i was happy

CamaroSkooter · 08-24-2009, 09:00 AM

What do those fuses go to? And do you pull the fuses and leave them out or what?

I'm just curious as to what this is bypassing and possibly how it could pinpoint the culprit.

khislop007 · 08-24-2009, 09:03 AM

I was about to say...another problem! Glad to know she's running like she should!

Dakota Kid · 08-24-2009, 09:10 AM

I hope this finally lays this issue to rest. My L99 has been a bat out of hell right from the get go...so no need to be pulling fuses on my part.

I am very glad you are finally happy with your car.

*radz28* · 08-24-2009, 09:13 AM

I'm glad things are looking brighter for you there

Hopefully this will be taken care of in the very near future...

Scott@Bjorn3D · 08-24-2009, 09:15 AM

The fuses go to the ECM. Looks to be clearing out settings it has learned. If some L99's had regular 87 octane put in them like mine they seemed to never learned back to use the higher octane tables when high octanes used. I know Randy has been using 93 since he got his car. GM said that what was wrong with my car. So if pulling the ECM fuses for several hours or overnight clears that issue we at least get the car running to how it was meant to run. And never put in gas in lower than 91 Octane perferably 93 Octane.

*radz28* · 08-24-2009, 09:18 AM

Scott - I'm sorry. I don't usually edit OP's posts, however, I changed the 97 octane to 87. If this weren't as touchy a subject as it is, I wouldn't have.

Respectfully
