Just picked up the ride, battery replaced and cable as well. Let's see what else pops up in the coming weeks like a bad case of hemorrhoids LMFAO

:sm0:

After reading all the posts, I was gonna say, sounds like your battery. I figured this right away when you said you had to reindex your windows and you were having issues remote starting the car. I had the exact same side effects but mine was from my battery being completely drained using a 110v inverter.

I've seen Camaros throw random codes from insufficent battery juice to supply the computer adequately.

I hope everything is fixed for you.

Car remote started fine this morning. Let's see if any of these codes go apeshit over the next few weeks. If anything pops up I will update this thread otherwise, assume all is well :)

Thanks!

So yesterday, the remote start didn't work yet again. I sat in the car, turned the key and the car started up, I think a little sluggish, but that could be just a placebo effect. The car asked me to index the damn windows again too.

I didn't get a chance last night, but this morning instead of starting the car, I code scanned her. This is the code I received.....

P2105 - Throttle Actuator Control System - Forced Engine Shutdown

WTF? Anyway car started right up this morning when I had the key in, didn't try remote start.

I don't get it, how come these issues pop up only in the AM? Throughout the day afterwards I have no issues starting the car up.

I am gonna clear the code tonight, and see if this is one of those remnant codes I was getting from the earlier troubles a week ago.

The other codes haven't popped back up, so :iono:

The code explains why the remote start didn't work... I know it the past you said the remote start would start to turn over then stop... wondering if you were actually throwing the code when you tried to start it... get the code and the remote start would then stop and not work...

As for in the AM... it' usually colder in the morning and the cold could be a contributing factor... I had a car once that when the temps were below freezing the HVAC switches wouldn't work... so as you drove it a while and things warmed up the HVAC panel magically came back to life!

Sounds like you still have some kind of electrical issues.. which can be a absolute nightmare to chase down...

Yep.....not excited :(

Thanks for responding btw!

You do know we're having a massive solar storm right now and could be roasting your ECU. :yikes:

Little bit of research on that code showed it can be related to the TB and happens when it's cold or first thing in the morning.

One guy (caddy) replaced the TB and all is well. Wonder if your 3 bolt TB is leaking when it's cold but expands and stops the leak after it warms up?

Just a thought.

I've got to agree with Scrming. Definately sounds like an electrical issue that could be related to the cold temps.

Where did you run the power lines for the oil press gauge? jw...

you may have a faulty ground somewhere that is slowly draining your battery over night (mixed with cold temps that can cause issues with batteries as well). IIRC, the TB can cause issues as well

I've got a kinda-similar issue with my truck that when I lock the truck with the button (or fob) and let it sit overnight, the next morning (usually if its been cold out), when I go to unlock the truck, the fob doesnt work and when I use my key, it sets the alarm off. :facepalm: and then I have to reprogram the key fob as the truck doesnt respond to it after that point. I've got an electrical gremlin that is draining the battery and resetting the ecm and bcm overnight.


If you want to Blade, I may be able to work some free time out this weekend if you wanted to drive down.:iono:

Goddamn solar storms LOL I saw the TB issues as well, but I have a plan to remove the IM this weekend and install the insulators. So when I do that, I will have a better angle to remove that dumb broken bolt. I am not sure if it's the entire problem though, because last year it wasn't an issue :iono:

Thanks for the offer Spike, but I have Saturday sat aside to first finish that damn gauge job and install these insulators. If I have these issues afterwards, then I might come down and we can trace this friggin electric issues.

I am also going to clear the codes today and see what happens tomorrow morning when I try the remote start. Shoulda I tried today SMH.

Let's hope it's not an electrical issue as that can be a PITA to fix sometimes. Look like you got the plan down so start there and see if the problem persist. The next time you get a CEL take her in to the dealer and do not clear the code yourself as you could be only masking the issues and prolonging the problem. It could be as simple as a bad ecm to someone screwing up the install somewhere. Sometimes mechanical issues can cross over to electrical problems. This kind of remind me of my very first wrx back in 2001 when I had to hard wire a cobb piggy back and ended up frying up some things. My odo went out, and had a christmas light for months. Finally I had one of my car guys go through the whole electrical system and it took him over a week to finally get it halfway right. My electrical system has not been right since then and I couldn't take the car to the dealer and ask them if they could fix my electrical issue because I effed up after trying to hard wire a piggy back ecm:facepalm: I hate electrical issues with a passion LOL.

If you get another CEL then take her in so you can start building a record with them. I'm sure the first time they will probably just clear the code and send you on your way.

thats why I offered to help...:D

That's the thing the CEL hasn't been on at all. Only that one time about 2.5 weeks ago, since then nothing.

But let's see what happens this weekend.

I got a friend of mine helping me here, he's a mechanic with YEARS of experience so I am confident we can get it done with his help. But if it's still a bust, I will ring you up. :thumbsup:

how much experience do you think I have? :facepalm::iono:







Should I send you my resume before I offer to help next time? :laugh:
