Hello all, new here. I've noticed that my 2006 ss has no power, when driving at any speed. I find myself worrying about getting up hills. It's running hotter than normal but not overheating (normal temp is roughly 180 now it's closer to 220 and hot when taking a hill), the boost gauge is saying it's making boost, when there is clearly no power.

I've not checked the fluid at the IC pump because I don't seem to have a filler neck. I have two coolant tanks but the tank on the driver's side appears to be overflow only, I don't see anything but one thin line running to it while the other is clearly running to the radiator.

Any help is greatly appreciated, I love this car and want it back.

 

the coolant tank on the left is for option heat exchanger system also called option b is there coolant in it

 

clogged cat?

take the cap off of the option b tank and turn the key to the accessory position, you should see flow.

If you just bought this car and haven't changed the IC pump you should do that, 9 times out of 10 that thing is bad.

 

Not everyone has it tuned to turn the IC pump on with the key on. If he's been driving it for awhile then there is a good chance it should be on and flowing.

I second the clogged cat though
