If you are going to pull them I would say do it and let it set overnight. That way the battery backup should of cleared also.

Also it was cool here this morning, will she how she drives when it get warmer today. I did make sure the tires got heated up from driving before trying it though since the P-Zero's will be slippery when cold. But car was in garage overnight.

So for us mechanically challenged, where are these fuses that I can pull? I don't want to jack up my car but I want to see if this helps.

Ok...someone should make a new sticky thread with all the "Do this at your own risk" planted all over it. Then have a step by step with pics on which one and where to pull the fuses. Maybe have video of the before and after if possible. On the step by step you have to be basic and don't assume the end user knows anything about anything car related.

Just my .02 cents.....

I have my doubts.... as to whether you could beat Bonnie or not. Tell her either she races you or she has to "model" on your car for us.



Junkie and Spike, I know I left myself open for a good joke here.
good joke..... ummmm.... good joke...... meh. congrats buddy. barking the 21s!!!

in front of the passenger strut tower in the engine bay, there is the fuse box, pull the cover and you'll see the fuses. check pages 9-42 thru 9-44 for the location of the two fuses to pull

I can`t go back to the dyno to verify this as I have headers on so no way to know if its pulling power again or not as numbers will be higher.

http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=36837

Stock L99 Dynograph w/ some interesting info

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I just dynoed mine to get a baseline (600 miles) and it put down 319rwhp twice then we pulled the pcm fuses for it to forget the LTFT (Long Term Fuel Trims), engine had more heatsoak than the first two pulls and it put down 327rwhp...Let me tell you picking up 8rwhp by doing that, this computer has a serious nanny program. The trans tune alone is going to be awesome. It really woke up my A6 Vette. I put ARH headers on it the day after and as soon as the Vararam is ready that will go on and I will get it tuned. So have faith o L99 bretheren...The curious thing I`ve noted is how there is a slight sip in the graph after 5250rpm`s then it picks back up, I`m assuming this may be when the VVT kicks out and is no longer making that extra midrange power. Any tuners can explain that? I`ve seen it on other L99 graphs, but not on the LS3 graphs...

And you do not want to even ask what #230 is doing to day with the over night fuse pull.
GMRULZ is where Scott saw it in the thread that he references here.

Thanks GMRULZ.

Open up the fuse box. Engine compartment to the front left as your looking at the motor. You'll see the fuses are all numbered.

I'm still speaking to a person at GM that is now helping me and looking further into this problem, BEFORE the fuse pull I did. This person has some 'pull' at GM and is being very responsive in helping.

He has asked me not to expierement further with my car as to not possibly creating any other issues. I will respect his request. (of course it's easy when you're rollin like I am) He wants to have my dealer do some tests to see what happened. It only makes sense.

So anyway, not sure if a stickey would be the right thing. It's well documented on the site and should be easy to search for someone who has problems. This way Camaro5 isn't 'pushing' the fuse pull, but providing it if someone wants to find it.

Your welcome man, I`m glad you and Scott got some of that lost power back. It would be very interesting to keep tabs and see if the computer starts pulling the power back out as LTFT`s are recorded. I`ve blown my baseline out by adding the headers. If it does continue to pull power as it records LTFT`s, you can install a device called a Dash Hawk that has a function to clear LTFT`s w/ a touch of a button if memory serves me right. Plus you can monitor a crapload of stuff , check codes ect...

I didn't know you could do that.

Of course, I wouldn't know what to do with the info.

It also just plugs into the diag port under the dash, no fancy wiring skills required...
