If I had never found C5, I would still have a slow car and would have exhausted all of my normal resources.

Thank you to all the people who cared enough to spend time on the phone or PMing back and forth and try to help me. (You guys know who you are )

And continue to help. Remember, we still have not fixed whatever it is that caused this. That will be up to GM and I believe they are working on it. My dealer called this morning and left a message saying "we have some information about your Camaro" so I'm gonna find out right now what that's about.

They probalby saw his face in the video and are going to say GM wants you to quit posting pictures and videos of yourself. Photos and videos of Bonnie only.

Any household items that you can think of that would be safe to use?

A fuse tweezer is included on the fuse board.. look in the lower right hand of this photo. It's that weird looking white/gray plastic claw thing clipped into the board on its side.

Ok. Just talked to them. Kinda funny. She said she got a call from GM technical assistance and first of all, she they 'heard' , that my car was running better. They told her that there was another case here in Alabama that basicaly needed a computer reset. (Hmmmmmmm, wonder who that was? ) And that they were to get my car back in and do the reset, but wondered why my car was running better.

I told her that I pulled the number 5 and 20 fuses and let it sit, yada yada yada, and she started laughing. She said that what I basicaly did is what they were supposed to do according to GM thecnical assistance. (Of course they wouldn't pull the fuses but reset it another way) They have discovered that even a gallon of low OR MID-GRADE fuel will cause this. They have mid-grade fuel at the dealers for PDI purposes and they allway put 3 gallons in new cars when they get them. (Bay Chevrolet)This is what happened. So I asked about my concern of why the computer didn't adjust after 6000 miles of 93 in it. She said "It won't adjust, you have to bring it to the dealer to have it reset". Or of course, pull the fuses. So there seems to be a slowing of information that has still not filtered down to the dealer level. OR, their not taking the info seriously. I gotta admit I am still SHOCKED that it made THAT big of a difference. They have instructed the salespeople and mainenance dept. to NEVER put 'lot fuel' (89 octane) fuel in the Camaros when they come in.

Then she asked if I wanted to bring it in and have it looked at for general purpose. I asked if I needed to and she said that what I did is all they would have done and I would be fine but bring it in if there are any other problems.

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO I guess we better add this to the "Instructions to the dealer" page for when you order your car.

Sounds to me like this "mod" is Camaro 101 for new owners.
