I put my car in the shop last night for an issuse.
1) When I fill the car with fuel, no matter how much I put in it. It just does not wanna start. I have to pump the throttle like it has a carb.
Once it does start my wideband is pegged at 9.00 for about 30 seconds, meaning my cylinders are damn near flooded. The dealership called and said the Purge Valve is having issues. I have never heard of such a thing.

I have been having the EXACT problem with my car.. I had to take my downpipe off every time I went into the dealership last week (3 times) and they claim to have fixed it.. But now it randomly does it every time I get gas. Stupid LNFs. Next time my car does it, I'm prob going to pull the purge solenoid and cap it with a Vacuum cap and see how it helps. This is Soo frustrating! Sometimes I would also randomly only boost to 5 lbs like it has the reduced power mode.. But it never says reduced power. Sub'd for any updates.

Yeah now that I know what it is I will. Car seems to be running great now. Still have the shitty rough idle at cold start. I have never had boost cut out and I have never seen power reduced on my car either. I kinda miss my SC at times
same thing happend to me.. one dealership told me that they wanted to charge me like 300+ dollars to fix..brought it to another dealership, and they fixed it for free, right in front of me..it really made me laugh how simple the prob. was
