Quit being a pu$$y
|
Ginger feels so slow and sluggish all of a sudden.
So starting just over a week ago Ginger has felt really slow and sluggish. She is not her quick nimble self. I'm really worried she is coming down with something. It feels like I just lost 50 rwhp over night.
The best way I can describe it is that it feels like I am always driving through 6 inches of water. Acceleration has decreased, handling heels heavy. What could be wrong? :(

Not sure, but going to throw this out there...maybe the winter fuel mix changed to summer mix lately? I have heard of this, and if not that then definitely a possible "heat soak" issue where your intake air temps have climbed enough for you to feel the big difference. I know my LS2 in the Trailblazer SS used to have serious hp difference in the summer vs winter because of this.
If it is heat related, just wait until it gets below around 70 degrees at night and go for a drive, preferably around 55-60 degrees. If the power it back, it is likely your cause.

Maybe she has a little fever. Shove two Ibuprofen's in her intake, and read her a bed time story. Maybe dump a glass of OJ over the windshield.
 FYI - It's a car, not a person.

Did you feed it a burger? Maybe you should feed it a salad instead.

My only guess is that you have a sensor that has gone bad and due to your tune your system is not showing it. But what do i know.. |

It's a fuel issue, I'd imagine. Either because of Summer mix or bad gas.
Run it dry, put No-Ethanol gas in it and drive it at night when it's cool and during the day when it's warm; see if it changes.

Given the sudden nature of the problem, I'd guess either bad sensor or bad gas.
