WOW and all along I thought this was just happening to me.

 

im going to go dig up that thread and bump it.

this seriously needs more attention

 

haha I thought i was the only one to. But apparently some ppl are having the problem to.

Did the new flash make the car any slower/faster, harder/not as hard on gas? or did it simply fix the problem.

I can live with the prob if the new flash is harder on gas or slower accelerating. But if not, its kind of annoying the little problem

 

i felt a noticable buttdyno increase.
there was one guy said he felt that 2nd gear wasnt as good....but i dunno.

i had a smile on my face for days after this reflash.


Mods can we sticky the "GM stage update" thread i bumped in 2.0L performance

 

yea I remember all that about the new flash fixing the prior stage 2 reflash.. I was all worried I might get the wrong one when I went for installation.. So I got it installed like a week or more after that thread came out and pointed out to the dealership about the new flash and they said I would get the newest one because the computer tells them the most recent.. and I checked it on that site from the GM Update thread and from my vin number it said I had the newest ones, The gap however was really off from what I used to have it at and I dont know if they messed with it or it regapped itself but when I fixed it, it drove a lot better but still not perfect... I miss having a smooth ride!

 

I dont have the S2 YET, but this is in its stock form(well atleast w/ the mods I have in my sig!) but it does this when the car is already warmed up and w/ about 10-20 minutes of driving........

 

are P0171 (and or p071) and P0507 the new flash code?? does anyone know??

 

no those are the CEL codes that you may get as a result of the problem that these flashes fix.

the flash codes are the highlighted numbers in that screenshot above.

 

I sent u a pm an0malous (didnt wanna go off topic on the thread)

 

So when i go to the GM diagnostic website, is there a place where i can see what # flash i have to make sure i have the right one??

 

2 questions:

Will the flash fix the skipping problem on the 2.4L or does it only fix it on the supercharged Cobalts?

Is this considered warranty work? Like when I take it in, do I have to pay for it?

 

I think the deal can charge you for the work, but if they do, just go somewhere else get it done.... but thats only what i heard!

 

I just found this site for identifying the updates for the PCM. Just enter your VIN and all set.
