I hope not. I doubt it, it didn't have any signs of being dropped or anything. Plus, Tim would have known. Would suck like hell though. I believe I'd be shit out of luck. (no acronym for requred dramatic effect, lol) Quote:

You can use a noid light to check #8injector( I think I read # 8 somewhere you thought was misfire). Put it on the injector and let the car idle and see what the light will do when it misfires. Honestly, I am not sure why the issue wasn't found while scanning the car. There is enough pids and sensors in the scanner to find almost anything wrong with the car. You should of never had to pay especially, if the problem did not get fixed!

Just FYI, GM does make sure that if a dealer is not trained on a certain vehicle then they do not have to perform warranty work or otherwise on it.
With the factory supercharged cars they have all of the documentation from GM on it, as well as support from the GM Tech line. Which does make it easier (for the ZR1 and CTS-V). While the Magnuson & the factory superchargers share the same rotors, they are different installations. Since they are typically not skilled diagnosticians I doubt they (a GM tech) would be able trouble shoot a problem that is not on the surface & easy to pinpoint. |

And Terri Tompson is a good dealership. They just have a policy. And they stick to it. The known oil pan gasket leak cropped up just before my blower install. I only found out about it because when I got it tuned, the tuner saw it and showed me where it was leaking. It was obviously there before the blower becasue I hadn't run the car yet. Terri Tompson said no. I was up front about the supercharger and they told me that their policy is to stick to the letter of GMs rules. I can't fault them for that. I'll just have to find someone else.

Ray2SS on this forum took his car to a local dealer in our area that was "supposedly" skilled at hot rodding up the Camaro. They had said they did a few twin turbos and what not. They messed his car up good and he ended up having to get it to Janetty to get straightened out.
Dealers are not performance shops. |

Of everything I have so far, I think a few things can be done right away. And then take it to a shop for a smoke test. If the blower has to be pulled, I'll be the one pulling it. Saves on cost. |

There are a few dealerships out there that do have peformance shops... Like Grabinak on the east side & Sunset Chevy on the west side.
I wouldnt discredit ALL dealers, but they are limited to a few nationwide. |

What I mean is I used to figure that all dealerships were top notch until they showed me, or I heard otherwise. But now they are all suspect until they show me or I hear otherwise. No big deal. I"m sure that most of them can fix a Cobalt or Silverado just fine. But out of the box isn't in their forte'. |

I agree. I was terrified to leave my car for a oil change, tire rotation & alignment... thankfully it made it back in one piece (and still running).
Actually, I was scared to leave my bone stock 97 burban... lol |
