My vin fits in the cars affected by that recall that was posted earlier. Maybe that's it!

hey rissa, sorry i didnt read this entire thread but i have had this issue before..its one of two things
one..changing weather
two..map sensor could be broken or low voltage..any CEL"s
one..changing weather
two..map sensor could be broken or low voltage..any CEL"s
I took it out at around 10, it was like 75ish degrees, my car LOVES this kind of weather, and it did it twice, and then I tried again and right to 22 and it held there. There have been no CEL's, and I've had it scanned twice. Just randomly won't hold boost or even hit full boost. It got it's oil changed like 2 weeks ago.
All righty so I had a local tuner do some logs on my car and check out the tune. He said it seems like the MAP is going out, but it pulled great in 2nd and 3rd gear, then I tried 2nd again, it went up to 15 psi and just steadily fell down. And I guess my tune is all fucked up, I'm knocking pretty bad, and the lowest my AFR would go at WOT was 13.0, but it had a hard time budging from the 14.7-14.0 range. I don't think my dealer will replace my MAP until it actually dies I'm wondering if there's anyway I could get the upgraded sensors from the stage kit....but yeah my tune and logs are being sent to EVERYONE, so my car will probably have some changes from each tuner. It will be like Frankenstein lol. Welp that's the update! I have the stock ecu in And it's sooooooooooooooooooooo slow!!!!!

i wouldnt let who tuned you touch your car again..just me.
like i said ..my map sensor went..if you want yours to go..find some bumpy roads and accelerat hard or install a BPV spring.
stage kit sensors are not out yet..i've tried looking trust me.
and the HHR/SKY ones are not the same harness.

Does the same thing happen on the stock ECU?
I've heard a lot of reports of MAP sensor failure. That sucks
Yes same thing happens on the stock ECU, but now they are thinking it could possibly be the sensors and/or throttle body since it's only getting 50% throttle at WOT. And trust, the original person is not re-tuning the car. I'm getting a log of the stock tune this weekend, and then taking it to the dealer and telling them it's been really jerky and not boosting because I wont be able to tell if the tune is good if there is a mechanical problem that's not fixed. So I'll probably have a legit answer in a couple weeks, until then I'm babying the shit out of this thing .

Update:
Took it to the dealer yesterday, called them this afternoon they said they had a hard time getting it to do what I told them it was doing but after driving around for a while it did exactly what I described, so they are looking into it now. Hope they figure it out!

well thats good that they saw it act up. means they will fix it =-)
Well I got the car back yesterday evening. They had it for 2 fulls days, looked at everything, drove it for about 40 miles and said it seemed fine. I took the service dpt manager for a ride, and it really did feel fine. I then drove it to a members house who lives right down the street from my dealer, he drove it and it was fine. I drove his in stock form and it felt the same. Soooo I guess we'll just see what my log this weekend says! But for now I'm glad I have it back and it appears to be running well. They said everything is in perfect shape and they tore it apart lol.
