Ok, well i have a question, just want you opinion on what the problem might be before going to warranty. when i am wot in second gear around 4000 to 5000 rpm the cars cel light flashes and blurp sound comes out of the exhaust. it only does this around 180 coolant temp.

Misfire would be my guess.

I would say misfire as well.

But on a side note, whats with people beating on these cars when they are not yet up to proper temp? Wait until around 192 degrees holds steady for a minute before you start to wail on the thing. You need to allow your oil to get up to temperature as well....not just coolant.

Your engine is not going to last long if you abuse it before proper temp is reached.

Its a misfire for sure. I had It happen once. It turned out I had a bad ignition coil which the dealer took care of. So yeah. When it flashes call onstar and they will give you the code and then go to your dealer

Yep. It sounds like a misfire. 180* is warmed up Enough to where ther should be no issue there. Maybe a coil pack going bad that would be my guess.

+1...I wont even give it more than a 1/4 throttle until Im up to operating temp. I watch it like a hawk until its at 195+, and until that point I only give it enough throttle to actually move haha.
