Had a very stressful day :( - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

After having bolt ons added and my car tuned last week. I was falling my car all over again, all to have it go slightly wrong today.

I was sitting my car for lunch, idling, and then suddenly it starts idling rough like it has a miss. Turn it off, pop the hood, and all of my ignition wires are good. Crank it back up and it's still idling rough. Shut it down and decide to wait after work and check the ignition wires again. Well after work arrives, all is bolted up like I think it should be, and it's still super rough.

So I decide to limp it home, it's not giving me any codes at all yet, so I set off. The car really doesn't want to do anymore than 1,500 RPM, and you can feel it pulling power after 1,500 RPM. So I get to my local dealership and get a service stabilitrak message on my screen and all of my TC lights come on.

They said they won't have a technician till the morning and I can bring it by first thing tomorrow. I told them the car is running so rough that I'd feel uncomfortable going any further in it as it sits, so I left it at the dealer for the night

I took my VTC out, wasn't that, checked my MAF sensor and that's plugged in just fine. My service advisor said the good news is that most stabilitrak messages they get are body related sensors and nothing mechanical. They said they wouldn't know for sure till the morning, but I am hoping it's nothing mechanical. Hopefully it is something as simple as just a sensor gone bad.

Any guesses or anyone else experienced this specifically? I could use a morale booster

My guess is Throttle Body Sensor, loose, dirty or?

Everything was tight, they won't have a technician in till the morning and they said they'd give me a call once they figure the issue out

Have you called your tuner you had used prior to the dealer for their input? As I recall you just had a tune done.

O2 sensor wires burnt against the header...shot in the dark

retry w/ the stock tune?..maybe the MAF sensor is 'glichy'?

Good news, was a cracked spark plug that finally let go

All is well, back in the beast and I am very happy.
