Hey guys! Sorry I've been absent. Just tryin to adjust to England. It's been rough...and particularly for my ZL1! I need some help!!

So here's what's going on! My car keeps throwing DTC P012C. I thought it was the map sensor so I ordered a new one a changed it out. Still there. I thought it was because I accidentally put 90 octane gas in my car instead of 93....I was doing that for a few weeks actually. But I stopped and now I'm putting the correct gas. I restarted the computer by pulling fuses 5 and 20. But it's still popping up. I'm stationed in England so the guys here at the "Chevy accredited dealership" have never seen a ZL1 let alone know how to fix it...so there taking a long as time trying to find the problem. I checked all connections and they seemed to be plugged in. The engine light comes on and if I go above 4K rpms or so stability track kicks in and engine power is reduced! Any suggestions?

Hope to hear from someone soon. Miss you guys!

Definition of DTC*P012C*for All MakesCode:Turbocharger/Supercharger Inlet Pressure Sensor Circuit Low Downstream of throttle valve

Here is what someone posted about that code.
Not that its related, but I once had a check engine light for P012C Turbocharger supercharger inlet pressure sensor circuit low Downstream of throttle valve. The problem ended up being a sensor on the throttle body was not plugged in all the way, once i snapped it in snug all was good.

Here is another post as well that might be useful.
There are actually 3 MAP sensors on a ZL1.
1. MAP sensor in the snout. This is for pre-supercharger reading ie no boost
2. One in the driver side front corner of the lid. This actually just goes into a hole that vents to the outside. Feel underneath it and you will see. This one is for ambient barometric pressure reading.
3. One on the driver side rear of the supercharger lid. This is the 3 bar sensor that can read boost. It looks different than the other two.

You might have better luck in the ZL1 section and also check the CTSV forums as well.

Btw where at in England? I was stationed in Italy years ago and went TDY to RAF Chicksands and RAF Mildenhall several times.

Ok thanks. I've seen the first post before...but the second post is new. I'll have to check the other map sensors! Thanks a bunch!

What kind of info are you looking for on the radial session at SGMP...I don't have anything other than what their website tells ya

SGMP has a private rental for Sat/Sun. Track setup is for DRs with private time slips. 10-7 racing so plenty of time. Looking forward to some fun tomorrow!

I called the number on the SGMP FB page for the info and went today. I think they will run again tomorrow but I can't go. There were 15 cars today. Well prepped track and as many runs as you wanted and any tree. $175 per car and crewmembers were free. Just show up and pay. I finally hit 11.9s on street tires in the 2016 Camaro (bone stock). Also ran 11.7 on DRs and skinnys.

Nice times, You had great weather to run in. I would like to go but the $175 a little high for me.

Wow we have events like this at PBIR its 75 per car! But doing the WGF is 225! So Im nuts!

[trz174]

Yeah, it was steep but it was the only option for me other than wait until mid February. My work schedule until then is not racer friendly.
