k Ima keep this one short..

Superbowl night I'm cruisin after the game headin back to the crib and a dog starts runnin out into the road(I'm wishin now it woulda been a cat, I woulda squished that lil ****** ) So I swerve out of the way of the dog, but I shoot it 2 much an hop this curb pretty bad with my right wheels.. both of the wheels were hissing, Oh and my car shuts off
After a couple times, it turned back on, but a CEL popped up(P0101)

I got the wheels replaced(JUST bought these 4 wheels like 3 days prior) an the code's still there. So after lookin thru my car, an checkin ****, I couldn't find anything out of place, I disconnected my battery(last night) an today connected it back.

Went to start it(CEL was gone ) an we started up.... but stuttered an turned back off

Tried again..

Started real weak, stutters, I gas it a lil.. an it doesn't go past 4K an sounds horrible. I stop, an it kills itself.. I THINK I smell oil, but after I got out an back in, I didn't smell it again..

Everything still looks fine under the hood, and nuthin looks crazy in my oil. SO, I'm hopin 3rd time's the charm..

Key in.. (CEL again) try to start it, an it does this time! an everything's fine for about a second, but the Oil light came on, and the RPM's kept bobblin around 500-800.. DIDNT smell anything this time..


ONLY good thing that came out of this.. I found the back piece to my phone, it's been missing for about a week

I already have a tow truck coming tho, I was gonna take it up to the dealership out here to get some warranty work done(service air bag, and service traction kept poppin up randomly and a clicking noise whenever my a/c fan was on, no problems tho, just want that fixed..)



Hopefully... its nuthin 2 crazy.. HOPEFULLY.. cuz I didn't buy my rims or springs YET, and I dont wanna have to spend my mod money fixin the car back up

Btw.. I got a CAI,CP,catless DP, an Forge w/ a Trifecta tune if that makes any difference..

Boost leak... Check your intercooler.

victoryredturbalt

"GM service manual ~ for the win

Description: P101 = Mass Air Flow Sensor Performance

Higlights from what I'm reading about diagnosing & repairs;

ECM will disable boost control and limit hte system to mechanical boost only, resulting in a substancial decrease in engine power

It reads as though this can be set by a dirty MAF ~ or a leak in the intake or a restriction in the exhaust.
It also reads as thoug ha loose connector could be the culprit.
~ it then goes into diagnostic procedures - and the techII is assumed to be handy..."
Thanks "soundjunky" for info


check ur intercooler piping, prob cracked it with the collision, can cause p101,

hmmm? what kinds of CAI do you have?

check your filter
last superbowl i ran over a chinese girl and i realized that her guts were stuck inside my CAI clogging it, not letting my engine get enought AIR


make sure there are no dogs in your CAI

Injian... an I ran over a cat one time.. fucked up everything damn good... but I couldn't stop smilin about it


The P0101 code, I'm not AASSS worried about.. cuz if anything, I can runa boost leak test(like he said) an see whats up.. all the rest of this stuff gets me tho

It's pay back for you wishing it was a cat.

What's the difference between a cat and a dog? They're both animals that don't deserve to be run over.

You've got a bad maf or a leak...

a dog is a pet a cat is an overgrown rat?

c1_c1rca

sounds kinda like the problem i had, clean your maf

does it sounds like this?

meh... me an Cats have never vibe'd well... I'm jus not a cat person.. an the cat I hit jumped out into the highway an ran back an forth in front of my car until I hit it goin 35.. Yea.. I can only slow down an swerve so much lol....

anyways tho.... it didn't really sound like that video.. but it was rough kind of like that.. but in addition to gurgling an strugglin to idle.. the tow truck's almost here tho, guy I talked to at the dealership said they're about to be done for the night soon but he'll give my car a quick run thru to see if he can spot anything..

This does give me more time to work on my Retro tho if yall want pics lemme know

victoryredturbalt

i call boost leak from collision. Let this thread know what it was when u find out
if maf needed cleaning u woulda been having this prob prior to contact.
Anyway just curious what it ended up being,
cheers

maybe right about a leak somewhere bein PART of the problem.. but I doubt a dirty MAF sensor cuz of the same reason.. I took a pic of the IC(bottom) so yall can see.. but other than that.. or maybe my cold side pipe busted somewhere where I cant see it? I dunno..

MastaShaKe_88

iTrader: (5)

here's a pic of my IC while it was on the flatbed...




if it looks stock... its cuz it is the only damage I see on the underside is the lil air dam got disconnected on the passenger side an its hangin low.. easy fix tho

Also, I started choppin up a headlight I got from a member on here a lil bit ago.... an what does this look like???





rust?? How does that happen...?? These didn't look like they've been open before... also, there looked like there was... peanut butter? on the bezel part, I couldn't get a good picture tho

I'm thinkin somethin jus got in there an crusted to ****

I got that code once. One of the wires to the maf had been rubbing against something and the resistance in the wire changed and started throwing codes. Or.. something along those lines. Anyway it was an easy fix once the dealer found it.

I'm hopin its somethin like that.. like really, cuz I got **** I'm tryin to buy... was GONNA buy, like literally, all I had to do was hit "confirm purchase" on a couple pages an a chunk of money was fend be out my pockets... but I'm hopin its somethin simple an easy

If there was enough contact to knock that loose I'd bet it cracked your end tank.

I would also check the map sensor on your cold side also, it being on the passenger side and all. I think those can also throw a p0101, not 100% sure though.

I can't really check anything right now.. my car's at the dealership.. they said my balt should be first in line, but Ima def bring some of this stuff up
