Fuse Pull: Low Octane Fuel Fix For L99 and LS3. Reset Fuel Map for High Octane Fuel. - Page 26 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Well this is weird. After the fuse pull, my LS3 ran noticeably stronger, more responsive and with better fuel consumption. However, the next day, it felt like it reverted itself to before.
All I did was reset the avg. mpg and speed before heading out. I will pull the fuses again tonight and see if it makes a difference.

Pulled mine tonight (ls3 6m), let you know tomorrow.

New tank of gas (91 octane again), Pulled fuse for 24-26 hours.. put back in..

Traction Control off, Compt mode on.. and crammed it to M.
Dead stop mashed gas 100% and a tiny chirp is all I got. (don't see how Auto people are chirping 2nd or 3rd gear..)

Better then before hand... but still not like it was before I ever pulled the Fuse.
Any more ideas?

What would happen if I pulled the #19 fuse for the tranny? I wonder if it will cure the TM on this car.

I can't imagine even chirping in second or third.

Might want the dealer to look at it. Unless I missed that you had allready.

probably not. Just would set to the factory default.

Pulle.d the fuses a few days ago and have driven it all over. It does make a difference. I plan on doing it every few weeks Thanks for the info, I accidentally ran across this thread and am sure glad I did.

At New England Dragway the other night, with the TC off, I spun the tires all the way into second gear. I did the fuse pull last week. My best time was 13.38 @ 106 mph. What kind of gas are you using? Before the fuse pull, my A6 SS acted just like yours. Try pulling them again after you run your tank almost empty and gas up at a different station. I see that you are from the midwest, when I was out there on my Harley, I couldn't get 93 octane like we get around Boston. All I found was 91 and sometimes the bike would ping. Perhaps it is your gasoline that is causing your problem.

Sorry, lol...I was in the "zone" while responding...not thinking! :slice:

Soooo here's an update on my fuse pull... I didn't expect it to help me but was just making sure.

It also hasn't helped with the herky jerkys on take-off. I previously thought it did....

possible... I'm going to take to dealer and try and get the "early" ECM update done. RedJewl here in Houston was talking to me about it.

Fuses just pulled on my L99 and will let her set overnight. I will report back tomorrow once put back in and taken for a spin. Looking forward to seeing what happens

Thanks for the heads up. Great thread!
