Something wierd after fuse pull - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Ok so Ive had the car over a month now. Got just under 600 miles and did the fuse pull a couple weeks ago. First off car wasnt slow but I felt it should be quicker so I said what the hell. Let it sit over night got out the next day put her in S mode and well not really worse but not really better. Still spins the tires sometimes and feels fast just not as fast it I thought it should be. So here's where it gets interesting. A few days later Im driving and its in drive. Im going through a stop sign real easy look up and the guy to my right doesnt appear to be stopping quickly enough so I hammer it.( Also in competition mode) Lol sure glad the traction control was on cause she tried spinning the damn wells off. So first chance I got I went in did several runs(Private road no crazy driving) w a variation of settings. You know trac off Sport mode, all off ect. just to get a comparison. Maybe Im crazy but the car is more aggressive,better shift points,and quicker in drive. Also in sport w everything off will spin the tire for a second,in drive itll spin them through first and chirp second(also thought in drive it started in second

) so anyways no offical times but after the fuse pull this thing is fast in sport but more of a brut in drive what do you think happened?

Your car is probably still breaking in.... You got less than 600 miles. Depending on how you have been breaking it in it might take a little longer.

Yeah crazy thing happened when I tried the fuse pull on my car. Its an LS3 though.

After the fuse pull my MPG has dropped terribly.

When I first got the car, a steady 80mph was 24mpg.... Recently it was just 20-21.. So i tried the fuse pull.
Now its 17-19 at 80mph.

Likewise, my general driving around town was getting me 13-16 overall after the end of a whole tank... before the fuse pull (not sure about when I first started driving)

After the fuse pull it was 9-11

Wow, that is big drop in mileage.

shroomjohn · 12-13-2009, 04:56 PM

Yep probably not broken in yet also forgot to mention my MPG went up about 2 MPG per gallon hwy and city we ll see whats to come. Man I love this car!

Infern0 · 12-13-2009, 10:48 PM

I have 2100 miles and I cannot get it above 17.6 MPG with lots of highway...very odd. I did the fuse pull at around 800 miles. LS3 as well.

slicker · 12-13-2009, 11:25 PM

is there a fuse to be pulled when you break it in

paphialex · 12-14-2009, 01:51 AM

ok I'm a noob, i know what a fuse is, but which fuse are you guys talking about?

v6sonoma · 12-14-2009, 02:03 AM

Well if you want an idea of how your car is doing mileage wise just reset the avg mileage while driving and see where it goes to. It's a cheap way of finding your "instant" mpg. I've been doing mostly city driving in my LS3 and get mostly 16 mpg.

Ranger40 · 12-14-2009, 03:39 AM

I haven't heard of any benefits of a fuse pull on the v6. It's mainly related to the v8, and mostly related to using lower octane fuel at some point causing the computer to run the engine based on the wrong octane table, causing lower performance.

Phoenix328 · 12-14-2009, 04:42 AM

i got 5300 miles did the fuse pull at about 1000 noticed no difference and i get crappy gas mileage too about 17-18mpg although i have noticed the car is getting faster.
