Protection Posted February 19, 2012 Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 I bought my automatic SS (98) a month ago. Had no problems with performance stock. But since I've added a few mods and done the free mods, I'll go WOT at about 60 mph and it feels laggy as hell, doesn't feel like its misfiring but like its not getting enough air or fuel. Almost feels like a stock lt1. I gave it WOT LAST NIGHT AND GOT an SES light. I've added a K&N air filter, SLP Lid. I've grinded down the ridge in the throttle body, cut the EGR tube, removed a section of the air dam, cut the filter tray and bypassed the coolant to the throttle body. Besides getting the check engine light checked, any legitimate suggestions on repair? I've got it boiled down to a dirty fuel filter, weak fp or bad spark plugs/wires. Car drives normal under normal driving situations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRTurbo04 Posted February 19, 2012 Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 did u oil the k&n? i know alot of the ls guys at the dyno have there afrs way off due to the oil from the k&n getting on the maf and messing thigns up.thats all i got.

Protection Posted February 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 I cleaned the maf last night. Sprayed it down real good. No luck the filters come preoiled Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Not Brian Posted February 19, 2012 Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 I remember having weird problems after rerouting my coolant lines. I don't remember what the problems were exactly, but I put it back to stock for some reason. Anyways since you seem to be having the problem only at wot I could only guess maybe you grinded down the tb ridge too far? maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cordell Posted February 19, 2012 Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 Spray some Armor-all on the engine. but seriously, the check engine light should point you in the right direction. Get the codes checked and report back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

koolrayz Posted February 19, 2012 Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 If the SES light was flashing when you were at WOT then you have a random misfire. Plugs and wires are the first place to start Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chadz89GTA Posted February 19, 2012 Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 Mine was doing the same thig the code was an o2 lean code, changed the o2 problems went away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Protection Posted February 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 Codes were.. P0131, p0151 p0137. Basically all o2 sensor low voltage errors. Probably because I used seafoam in the brake booster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SinisterSS Posted February 19, 2012 Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 recheck the MAF could still be dirty due to the new K&N filter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Not Brian Posted February 19, 2012 Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 I still use paper filters, I can live without the imaginary power bump. Actually I think Brian Carter said his car lost 5hp when he installed one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ Posted February 19, 2012 Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 Unplug the maf and go for a test drive an see what happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cordell Posted February 19, 2012 Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 Unplug the maf and go for a test drive an see what happens. This if the car will run, I doubt it will but you can try it. I bet you fried the o2 sensors, they don't tolerate much abuse. I've had to replace mine a few times. Just check to make sure you haven't created a vacuum leak, or allowed air to get in behind the MAF anywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Protection Posted February 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 So carboned sensors from the recent seafoam wouldn't have been the culprit? I've cleaned the maf with the spray shit. I'm going to use the same spray to try to clean them individually Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sensors are very likely, but its not a sure thing. and its just my opinion but cleaning an o2 sensor is a waste of time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V8 Beast Posted February 20, 2012 Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 I still use paper filters, I can live without the imaginary power bump. Actually I think Brian Carter said his car lost 5hp when he installed one. Truth, I'm currently running a paper filter from O'reilly's. 438.8 on motor with K&N, 444 without... but my car is also possessed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Protection Posted February 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 Ran without the maf plugged in. Didnt open it up all the way. Really felt no different in my normal driving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a higher flow filter- more air= more HP? I guess the dyno doesnt lie though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
