checked it it was fine and i went to autozone to have it scaned and they didn't have it on their computers

the code was P0090

ok i just figured out what it was it's a wire harness clip that's right under the charge piping and the chargepiping popped off and it broke the clip

i had the same problem it's sad, i had to start ripping pieces of electrical tape in half so i could fit it over the now exposed wires. Tape it up and you'll be good, if it happens again and there is a problem with it, warranty!!!!

LOL 1white and I have the zip tie fix for this bull **** ... It's called a tuner car. Just out of general care for your car you should be opening the hood to see if anything is weird...

Take the electrical tape and insulate the wires. Use zipties to hold down the Charge piping and then take the positive cable off the battery in the trunk for aprox. 5 minutes.

reconnect cable and start her ..

She will be reset ready to rock ..
