p0328 and running slightly warmer than normal
Hey guys, good ol' engine light popped on the other day, had it scanned and it was p0328. Had them clear the code because I didn't notice (at the time) any signs/symptoms so I figured it was either a one-time weird freak thing or maybe the sensor itself acting up. Drove home watching gauges pretty close, and feeling/listening/smelling for anything to be off and didn't notice anything odd other than coolant temp being *slightly* higher than normal (like 198-208 on a drive that would normally never see above 200).
Next day I was doing a moderate throttle pull in 2nd gear leaving work and engine light pops on again and sudden (significant) loss in power/acceleration. Drove straight home, and the whole way there (only like 3 miles) it was definitely running hotter than normal. Not "overheating", but I do that drive (from work) all the time and never ever (even on 110 degree summer days) see temps over ~200 and this time it was basically 202-216 the entire way. When under lighter load and not giving it the beans I didn't notice any sort of decreased performance.
So I'm guessing I actually have an actual problem (based on the running hotter symptom), but was hoping ya'll could chip in some idea(s) of what it may be.
Summarized symptoms:
-p0328
-Running hotter than normal (never overheated per temp readout)
-decreased power/acceleration under higher load, but not so much under light load.
It's going into the dealer on Tuesday, but obviously appreciate any ideas ahead of time.
Car: 2013 ZL1, CAI, LTs w/hi-flow cats, stock everything else, tuned.
67k miles, all mods and tune done at approx. 18k miles with zero problems or lights at any point before now.
