And also, as you're in a State that I think was part of the recall you'll want to call the dealer and look into reimbursement for the fuel pump.
I'm in Missouri but car was bought in Illinois. Also is California emissions

Check your connector on the throttle body to make sure it's pushed all the way in. Then trace it back on the wiring harness to make sure it's not frayed.

Did you touch the throttle body blades much?

Check wiring on MAF too. Also check the wire harness as much as possible.

Are you sure your battery isn't dead? it should be aged if it's the original. My 09 OEM battery just went.

If it won't take a jump at all you need to start there. Low voltage will cause a myriad of issues that look like something they aren't.

Check the battery, check the alternator. All your grounds. Get your electrical system constant and healthy, then you can check what ever issues remain.

recalls and warranty are not the same thing.

Recalls are recalls and are applied to the vehicle regardless of age or warranty status.

Yes, I get that, and I already addressed that in a previous post.

Nonetheless, you are probably due for reimbursement on the pump expense from back when you replaced it. Unless you like leaving money in Gm's wallet instead of yours it's worth making a call to the dealer to check into, right?

The special policy covers them forever and if you had it replaced on your dime GM will reimburse you. Just trying to get you some of your money back so you can throw more parts at it.

I would use the money towards Diag at a GM dealer so you don't have to waste anymore money on parts.

No. Other way around. Carlock light came on because of the low battery issue. That's the first thing you need to work on right now. Everything else comes after that. That's priority one right now.
