I just dropped the ss/sc off to get an oil change and go to pick it up after work and i turn the car on and have acel and just figured they hit tsomething and i would get it checked tomorow. I go to leave and as soon as i hit 5 mph it says engine power reduced and the car shuts off the engine is bogging and its fucked up what do you guys think happened? it was fine when i dropped it off but now its all fucked up. the garage is closed for the nite and doesnt open till 8 what did they do it? what do you guys think is wrong? it was fine when i dropped it off last nite....

 

sounds like they left something unplugged...prolly a sensor they moved to get to the oil filter...

 

did u get it done at the dealership?

 

To get to the oil filter in the ss/sc you have to reach through a bunch of stuff. Make sure they didn't pull off a wire or mess up the hoses. Check the oil and make sure they actually put it back in knowing gm work lol. While you are at it make sure it looks new because they have before just reset the life and not touched the oil if it looks ok. Make sure the intake is still connected well too.

 

Please be at a dealership and not some quick oil change place.

 

no i got a jeep dealership that has been doing my oil changes on the ss/sc since ive had it friends of the family for longer than ive been alive (20 years) haha so they know what there doing to the car. It pisses me off cuz it was fine when i dropped it off and im ready to ******* kill someone rite now, does it sound like it could be something big? the only thing that worries me is it says engine power reduced then shut off

nope i trust this dealership with everything they installed my intake for free and would trust my car with them for anything that needs to be done. Just pisses me off cuz its fucked up now and was fine when i got there and there closed now so i dont know whats wrong with it

 

if u trust them take it back and ask them what the **** over

 

plan on it at 8 am when they open up just figured id c wat u guys thought it was and if i should be worried

 

look around in your engine bay and see if anything looks wierd...does it have oil in it?? also it could possibly be a clogged cat that just randomly started causing problems like mine did

 

I hd the same problem happen to me. I got out of the parking lot and my car says engine power reduced. Its a sensor they forget to connect. Its prolly the one right over the filter they forgot to connect

 

cant see its dark out and garage is c losed. hopefully its just a bad connection and nothing big

 

they make flashlights so you can see in the dark........

 

cars back at the garage and i got no ride out there

 

barometric pressure sensor is disconnected, your throwing a baro correlation error, probably p0069


it's sensor #2 in the diagram

 

check the sensors and then turn the car on and off three time to reboot the system it happened to me when i let a garage change the oil luckily there was i guy there who had like 20 years working at chevy. and also check to see if they put snythetic oil in it or just regular when it opens. and slap the hell out of the guy who did the oil change.

 

i bought mobil one oil and filter so they used that on it

 

check and double check the sensors. and if that doesnt work take to the dealership.

 

would that cause me to lose engine power and have the idle all fucked up?

 

yes allready had the same thing happen to me

 

yes because only competant GM techs that charge double know how to do an oil change correctly

 

QFT, i take mine to a lube shop and talk them through the process, sometimes i even help them when they can't figure out how to get the filter cap off.

 

Well, if the engine thinks something is wrong, anything is possible, so yes, that could be and probably IS the reason.

 

k guys i just went down to the garage and there was a sensor diconnected it was rite under the supercharger so i plugged it back in and its working fine now still have the cel but i get that cleared tomorow thanks guys!

 

Thats strange because the dealership actually charges me less then the lube shops for an oil change with Mobile 1.

 

my dealership charges 80 bucks for an oil change with mobil 1. and the garage i go to is 20 bucks for oil change 10 bucks to rotate tires if i supply my own oil so its a hell of a lot cheaper
