I do not work out my self other than to keep her pristine. She is home, not in her bed but home.

But thanks for your input.

It's no big deal. I knew what I was getting into. But I have NEVER had any issues with all the other new cars I bought so I rolled the dice. I would do it again tomorrow. Loved the car even more after I did it. It was just a one in a million problem.

...Sensor issue...hmmmm....an easy check might be the MAF sensor...either it went bad or is a "weak" one and is acting up...which is not too uncommon with a lot of mods....

Based on mod level, I'm assuming that you have a simple/cheap code reader? What's the code read?

Any misfires or rough idle issues? Maybe a broken valve spring? (trying to account for engine ticking/exhaust note change)

Possible vacuum/exhaust leak issue? (again, potential source of ticking...unmetered air can prevent engine from re-starting as well)

ECCamaro · 10-07-2012, 07:13 PM

Sorry and hope you get it fixed soon.

I plugged my iTSX in and used my iPad to read the codes. It seemed to idle fine as in no roughness at all, just a noise and different sound to the exhaust. I'm going to use AAA to flat bed it to the shop and let them check it out.

The codes indicate that it's a CMP sensor which has something to do with the camshaft.

Camshaft position sensor...usually not too hard or expensive but idk about this one...

Maxspeed · 10-07-2012, 08:10 PM

Ya that's what I found out too. Think it will be more of a pain int he ass logistically than anything else (I Hope). Maybe this is a sign that I should SuperCharge it

Dude, about to take the plunge with headers (sitting in my garage) but reading stuff like this scares me off.

Keep us updated.

BowtieBelle · 10-08-2012, 08:57 AM

Oh no! Kinda sounds like the fuel pump but who knows...

It wasn't the headers. The code said it had something to do with a camshaft sensor. It could of and might have failed if my car was bone stock. I am still glad I did this and would do it again. It was a one in a million failure
