Continuity measures the wire or circuit resistance (measured in ohms) in between the two points in contact with the meter probes. Resistance effects amperage (or flow) Low resistance = high flow, high resistance = low flow. Voltage is a measure of the power (or pressure) from the positive polarity as measured on one side of the meter and in basic terms the negative side of polarity or ground on the other side of the meter... You must have a good clean bare metal point of contact and it must be a common ground source... which on cars the entire chasis and engine is a common ground source. |

Some one with good writing capabilities needs to write to GM (whatever division to contact) with the question at hand...something along the lines of "How can your owners manual say.blah blah) if in fact the fuze conducts no power to re-set the ECM function for octane re-calibration..? just a thought.... who is the GM Rep..here on C5? let them research this or get name of GM contact for this info...settle this once and for all.

By all accounts here, I should have noticed a huge difference... Wouldn't you be asking these questions if it didn't "work" for you? |

A capacitor is much like a battery, it stores power and has a capacity much like a battery, as it uses power up you must recharge the capacitor, again much like a battery or the power is lost. So the octane tables directly used and adjusted by the ECM to run the engine must be stored in volatile memory, meaning that the memory is lost when power is not maintained. All other functions would be stored in non-volatile memory, where the data is not lost after a power failure. |

The key is off to check the voltage as that is the instructions given on the fuse pull... That is the whole point of the check. Why would we check it with the key on... I would suspect the fuses power up with the key in the run position or with the engine running. Personally I do not really care one way or the other, you can pull your fuse to your heart’s desire, or you can think it is BS and don't pull your fuse… that is entirely up to you and none of my business. So no "agenda", just an old troubleshooter who likes to know the answers and never follows the flock like sheeple blindly. Understand that there is no disrespect intended... ever.

If anyone out there has a simple data logger for voltage lets see some data, wire the fuses with solderless terminals and connect the logger to the fuse and ground. Collect data for 24 hours in 1 second intervals and lets see what happens.
If not I will buy one after several weeks when I can afford to blow about 80 bucks (or when the wife will let me, too many expenses right now) http://www.dataq.com/products/hardwa...ta-logger.html |

Scott and many other 2010 car owners had this problem, GM sent technicians down to monitor his lack of power, Fbodfather was involved also, The answer for what ever the reason was to pull the fuses, if you did not have the problem nothing happened, if you had a L99 it worked if you were on the low octane table. Now explain why with the LS3 you disconnect the battery cable and touch to ground it? also when I had my Tune Tuner disconnected battery cable and grounded it to reset computer. The fuse pull works if you are a L99 on the low octane table, even GM had trouble figuring it out, so if you are late to the party you have learned something.

The capacitor theory makes some sense given the way the alternator cuts off periodically. Short term power storage could be designed in.
I keep reading these threads because some days the car feels faster. My current thinking: - the single pump gets me up to 2 gallons of 87 before the 93 comes in. This can be a problem given the small tank. I have actually moved behind Porsches at gas stations and waited for them to fill up. - the 12-13s adjust dynamically every 100 miles or after a fill up. Over on the GM truck site they also think a fill up from empty ("significant fueling event") is detected and triggers a reset of the ECU fuel map. |

Just curious, have you done anything to find out if you even have a problem with your car? 0-60 times? I'm thoroughly impressed by the same comment regarding the sporadic voltage. It made complete sense. I knew that either that, or some other logical explanation would come to light. Why? Because I KNOW the fuse pull works. The issue bugs me, especially the lack of Chevy Customer Service response. "Stupid" bugs me too. Like the guy that has been running 87 octane in his SS "for months", and then calls "BS" on dozens of testimonials to the fuse pull. I feel bad for what PQ, Scott and all of us believe, is the many people who might not even know the early L99s are under performing. |
