^news to me. I'm still reading through the manual. I'll have to check that out.
Thanks for all the info everyone. I'll keep you guys updated on what happens. That would be something if it was cheap 87 octane gas they put in it-obviously best case scenario. |

AFM can be defeated by using a Range device plugged into the OBDII port. This is what I have done. I want 8 cylinders all the time. I don't care about gas mileage.

My afm is not detectable unlike my 15 2ss where it was constantly in and out. I made my dealer put in 93 right from the start. No issues. I'm averaging about 25 mpg so the afm really works and I wouldn't turn mine off, at least not on this car.

I wouldn't have taken delivery of the car without a test drive and left it at the dealer. It may be something simple; it may not. Either way I would bring it right back and have them look at it.

Shouldn't be AFM unless it's malfunctioning. That should not activate on acceleration and typically not until you reach a certain speed too. As others have stated, it should be undetectable if it's functioning properly.

Mine misses to and is getting worse among my many other issues. Dealer says it's normal. Hope yours gets taken care of.

Thanks for the info everyone! Luckily AZ seems to have a pretty strict lemon law so you can bet I will be thoroughly recording every visit to the shop this car makes. |

Then it persisted a bit after the dealership only replaced the right side. So I drove the s*** out of it, WOT runs on empty streets, basically driving it like I stole it to have the CEL come on and stay on. Took it to a different service dept and they "re-flashed" the computer. Hopefully I'm not too late on chiming in, I only read your original post. Here's to hoping that this info help!

I don't understand how a brand new car has bad valves and lifters! That's insane!!
I thought about doing the same. Just hammering on the car until either something major happens or the issues are more pronounced. The dealer we bought the car from is 34 miles away so the initial service trip will be back there. Then I will probably start taking the car to the chevy right down the road from me. Thanks for the input! |

Problem solved!!
I decided to take the plunge and start checking things under the hood. Really didn't want to be without the car in the shop. All harness plugs seemed fine, air filter and MAF was fine. THEN........ I started checking plug wires. Cylinders 2 and 6's plug wires I barely touched and they fell off the spark plugs. Reinstalled them correctly and literally every issue has stopped. Car idles so smooth you wouldn't even know it was running, acceleration is ridiculous and throws you back in the seat, all the shifting issues are gone. To think we almost took the thing back to the dealership today. So happy it was a quick fix! Again thanks for all the help guys! |
