I'm guessing it's the MAP sensor. I'll look at it tomorrow. I knew I should have installed it myself, but the dealer offered to do it for free since I just bought the car. It didn't go into full safe mode, as it still went to 15 psi. Is there a free way to read CEL's on this car?

The tech drove it around a bit, so I'm guessing it's not something like mis-wiring. Will update. Not a big deal, but a bit annoying. I was planning on pulling the battery cable to reset after I check it out. Is there a more convenient way to reset the ECU?

Thanks,
Warren

if its only boosting to 15 psi they might not have done the calibration.

Probably a loose sensor.

I agree it should be boosting 20 at least. Get the codes read first

If they didn't flash it correctly the baro sensor will throw a cel, not really a big deal they just have to flash it correctly again.

I was reminded today why I generally dislike other people working on my cars. Oh let me count the ways.

• Used stock size o-rings
• Did not cut the tab off on lower MAP sensor
• Turned lower MAP sensor backwards because the tab was in the way.
• Attempted to flash the ECU, but it did not take

I'll be heading down there tomorrow night to get it flashed. I sorted out the mechanical issues. The mechanic was very apologetic and is eager to fix it, so I didn't give any crap about it. All the same though, GM provided some pretty good directions, and I didn't think it was a tough install.

yup i dont trust ppl touching my car. I'll be buying stock sensors to hack a pig tail harness for plug n play of the kit.

What a fool!

I followed the directions and took my time on my coworker's HHR SS. He was VERY pleased. We even took it out afterwards and gave it some test runs.

Well, that's a little more like it! Car feels good. I only saw a max of 21 psi. Read some anecdotal evidence of 23 psi peak, but that's where my car is. Everything else is bone stock.

Where did you get it installed at? I'm in the NoVA area as well, so I'll know who to avoid.

Country Chevy in Warrenton, though they've got the procedure sorted out now.
