Fuse Pull: Low Octane Fuel Fix For L99 and LS3. Reset Fuel Map for High Octane Fuel.
As reported on Homepage.
Okay - after seeing a request for a sticky on how this is done, if someone can post up a couple pics' and exactly how/what to do to correct the power issue with L99s and low octane table, then I'll sticky it here. I think it can go over to the DYI Section too, however, I think it'll do more good here for now. Unless Admin'/Mods' say otherwise, I'll leave it here. So, again, if someone can snap a few pics', so the DYI'er knows exactly what he/she's doing, and do a quick write-up, and maybe short background on why, I'll change this to a sticky and obviously give credit where it's due. It should be understood that there is always a risk in DYI'ing, and that this site, Administrators, Moderators, and Members hold no responsibility for any conditions that may arise from performing this on your car; it is completely the responsibility of the DYI'er and owner of the car. This is not a guaranteed fix; only things that some members have shared through their own experimentation. Waiting on some more confirmation from a member who is working with their dealer to verify the good/bad with regard to this proceedure. UPDATE: While not officially confirmed, '10 and '11 models do not have modified calibrations to correct this issue. It does NOT appear there is a reflash to correct this. Reliable source(s) say that either a TECH II reflash or this procedure are the only ways to correct this issue. It's unknown if this will change in the future, however, if low octane is detected, the only way for the PCM to get back into the high octane table is outlined a sentence ago. #PIP4728: Higher Than Expected 0-60 MPH (97 KPH) Acceleration Time- (Nov 4, 2009) How about that ********************* Some interesting reads: http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=38915 http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=38838 http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=38872 http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=39028 Does it really work?... http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=36837 There's one test...

Nice post! I'm wondering though, is it really necessary to let it sit for hours with the fuses out? What is the reason for that? Any time I've reset stuff in my Fusion, I just pull the fuses out just to see if it's not blown, then put it back in...
Just curious if there's a reason that I may not know about I'm thinking I'm gonna try this when I get my car back though! |

The white/grey grabber at the bottom right of the pic Hulk1212 is used to pull them out. Once you use that its a piece of cake to get them out.

There haven't really been any LS3s reported as being really slow. However, if you check the boards there is one claim that he benefited real good from this. |

This place rocks for information!!!
Went to my dealer to get my tires sensors reset (Changed rims and tires) and told him about the fuse mod and he was amazed out how much more info is on the web and expecially in this forum than he has available to him from GM. |

I gave this a try after thinking my Camaro seemed a little bit laggy to 60. Last night around 10:30 I pulled the two fuses, this morning around 6:20 I put them back in. Found a nice spot away from the city and made a 0-60 run in drive mode, both traction modes off. It was fast! Really Fast!
However, I was not happy during the night last night we had a 10 degree drop in temp. So it was around 59 this morning. Hopefully it will warm up some today and I will be able to get in another run after work. |
