SS stalled on me this morning
Never did this before.
Remote cranked my car and let it run for a solid 5 minutes, it was at operating temperatures. Reason I remote crank is because I live right off of a 65 MPH road and is usually packed with cars doing 70 - 75 meaning when I pull out of the complex I have to really get on it from a dig....Thats exactly what didn't happen this morning. I was pulling up to the intersection which was fortunately clear this morning and as I let off the brake to engage the fuel I just felt a sudden jerk it just rolled into the highway with absolutely no power, before I realized it stalled... restarted it QUICK and was on my merry way. Hope this doesn't become a commonity... I'm hoping it was just a glitch. I remember watching a video on here awhile back where some guy hydroplaned and lost it -- and the car shut down after he recovered... Is there some mechanism that cuts fuel when too many G's are applied that could malfunction or something? |

It should not do this. Has the car been modified, like maybe an aftermarket throttle controller?
If it is stock, and this condition repeats, I would take it in under warranty. In your situation you can't afford this happening often. My 17 has never stalled in this kind of situation. |

Actually if this turns into an ordeal Im just going to push my attorney to lemon my car. GM got back with me a few weeks ago and told me that they could "no longer speak with me because I have an attorney handling the case." For the time being my attorney is suing them for downtime of my car (was down over a month). |

Modern cars have so much electronics, could have been a glitch. |

My suggestion is when you remote start, is to turn it off when you get in and then restart it.
I have a M6 and these LT1's have a "deadspot" in the pedal off idle.... The tony MOMO tB is said to solve this.
