So tonight is the first I took it to the track. 4200 miles on it. I take my first run, a not too bad for my first time EVER at a strip, 14.56 @ 100.40. So next run, my reaction time is wayyyyy better like .8 seconds better, and I launch better, and less wheel spin, and then as I shift into 2nd, bam, Check Engine Light, Engine Power Reduced.

This Happened one time before, The I/C pipind came loose and took some wires, same thing, it took like a whole sensor off.

I am really starting to debate whether I should have got that Evo I wanted. Needless to Say Im Pissed, and if I would owe less than what I could get it would be gone this week for an Evo.



Anyway, the Piping came loose like right in front of your face if you look at it, and took this wghole Gray Colored sensor with it, Any Help?

 

I'll have your TC if you don't want it

 

Warranty it.. I believe they already have a fix for this, it's happened to other people.

 

They already fixed it once under warranty, I dont need it happening every tim my boost needle hits 18. It sucks.

And if you can handle $530 a month its yours.

I mean I have had it 2 months, and this has happened twice, I was just about o buy the whole Synapse I/C setup, but now I don't even know if I want the car right now.

 

i suggest you get it warrantied once again to make sure everything checks out ok and then get the synapse IC and charge piping. its a beautiful car man, dont get rid of her

 

Yea, it's nice, and Hella Fun to drive, but this is ridiculous, I don't drive it that hard, and this crap breaks every 1000 miles. Plus winter in PA sucks, that's why I wanted to go AWD from the start, but it doesn't matter, I owe more than what I can get for it, so unless I win some kind of lottery or sell crack, I pretty much have it.

And on a side note, my first run I raced a VR6 and he had me off the line caus my reaction time was horrible, but I beat him by more than half a second.

 

Never owned a chevy before huh? Get it fixed under warrenty, then replace it when you have the funds for an upgrade

Only reason i have been able to mod my car Everytime something breaks I tell my fiance, I could replace it with the same part or just upgrade while I am at it

 

(This Is a first lol) Sorry to hear that man, but if you have a warranty then **** keep going to get it fixed, thats what it is there for.

 

That's just it, I was about to buy the whole I/C setup tomorrow. And my friends tols me Chevy's Break a lot, but whatever. Maybe I'll get lucky, and my Evo.

 

48 mos.?

 

No lol, Tha car I traded in I lost about 4 G's

But I was figuring this car wouldn't break on me.

 

damn this is becoming a really common issue.

recall possibly?

 

Yea I don't know, me and my buddy looked and you could see right where it popped loose, and then on further inspection the whole frickin sensor got broken off.

 

WTF! BATMAN!

Prime example why I do not rush off and buy first year production of a new car. Take it back in. Make sure theres no evidence of racing(burned rubber tire wheels, etc).

 

I find it funny that i drive the sh*t out of mine and don't have any of the reported "issues" with the TCs...

 

your askin for trouble sayin things like that

 

Im not sayin I dont get on it, but I dont drive it like some people I see drivin around. It's not like i go ***** out everywhere, I drive it fast but not stupid about it.

 

Exactly! These problems = bad driving...

 

did you break the high pressure pump sensor connector too?

 

Yea, I'm a pretty bad driver, I have only been doing it for a living the past 18 months. Like I said it happened once before, and no problems on my first run. I know how to drive the damn car.

 

was it the electrical connector on the high pressure pump?

 

oh I dont know, it was grey and attatched right below where the intercooler pipe is flattened out. It had some copper metal wires in the spot where it broke off from.

The spot where the I'c Pipe connects to the intake manifold I believe it is, is obviously terrible at handling boost. I can pop it off with not much effort with my hands, and the little grey sensor or whatevr it is got completely busted off it's just there on th end of it's bundle of wires floatin in the bay. the pipe is held on by this little ass screw that you just pop it on and off, cheap ****.

 

get a pic if you can

 

I have this odd feeling that this is what he is talking about...

 

Don't feel bad, my SS/SC makes me wish I'd bought the 03 Cobra instead
