First visit to the shop...
Our Camaro is in the shop for its first servicing today. Here's what's being done:
Maybe they'll surprise me and I'll have something to report back on the two "issues".

dude, there are plenty posts on here about the L99 issues. Just search. The dealer wont fix it but you can. Do the fuse pull. It "woke up" a lot of members L99s that were sluggish. I did my oil change at 1500 too, actually tuesday at 1431.

Please keep us up to date on what they say. I thought about taking it just to have it documented as well.

Thanks for the suggestion, but this isn't the "slows" issue that the fuse pull addresses. This is a noticable bogging down, hesitation and vibration that seems to be caused by the AFM on the L99. So far everyone has been told that it's "normal". It may be normal, but it's quite annoying. Maybe with enough complaints it will get addressed.

For those interested, I recall reading a post on the Pontiac G8 GT forum about an aftermarket fix to disconnect the AFM. You might find it doing a search.

Maybe some good news...
My service rep just called and asked if they can keep our car until tomorrow. He said that they could definately reproduce my hesitation/vibration issue and they don't know what's causing it. He said that they have a call into GM and are waiting to hear back. They offered a rental car which we don't need and declined, but my wife read him the riot act and made him promise that the car will be locked inside the service department over night and that no one will be driving the car. I've got my fingers crossed that something good will come of it.

You have a Good Wife. But if you look in the back lot, your car will be there.

My dealer has a spot right where you pull into the building where they park vetted waiting service. I've also seen a camaro there waiting. Some of them care

I haven't found a thread that tells how to do the "fuse pull" can anyone help with this? Is this something you can just do when you get the car- or do you wait until you have problems? Thanks in advance!
