Blown Engine?

SaGa · 09-27-2018, 01:57 PM

Currently having some problems with the Maro, Car has a misfire cylinder 1 (P0301 this is before changing spark plugs, car still sounds like misfiring/my car is cammed now? Spark plugs are changed now

) Cylinder 1 spark plug was burnt out. Engine shakes entire car, service stabilitrak, oil pressure is all the way up.
Battery also died completely (already changed it problems still occurring)
I have full bolt on and tune- 303 hp 330 trq

Randomly happened. Next step is reflashing the tune, if that doesn’t work off to mechanic for internal check.

Possible problems iv been told include: Alternator, ECU, coil, valve, heads, oil pump gear, honestly too many to remember.

Possible 2019 Turbo 1LE?

Any suggestions let me know I will upload a video and CEL codes in a little.

I have seen several dropped plugs on LTG engines. i have seen them bend valves, punch holes in pistons, and i've also seen one torch out a bunch of the aluminum (torching all the way around one of the exhaust valve seats, junking the head). if you have changed the plug, and it still has a dead hole, there is likely a much larger problem unfortunately.

Who's tune, and what's your mileage on car and tune?

Danny Tech tuned the car
Car has 35300 and on the tune not 100% but we tuned June 22nd 2018.

Damn man... Sorry to hear that...
Thanks you for the information, let us know what happens.

When you say oil pressure is all the way up, do you mean above normal? If so, pressure spikes like that can be caused by debris in the passageways. Sadly, i'm guessing you have a piston hole and internal damage.

Yes the oil pressure is above normal. At idle the gauge is all the way to the end of the gauge.

I am taking the car monday to the mechanic to hopefully determine the actual issue. Lets hope no internal damage but lets face it... it probably is.

Car has been out of commission for a little over a month now. She has been taken too the mechanic where they determined that cylinder 1 had no compression and 2-4 with low compression. Turbo was also deemed broken.

As of today the new engine has been put in and the turbo is being mounted today.

Car was taken to a local dealership where my mechanic has connections. Covered under warranty and should be finished very soon!

Update #3:

Car was picked up a few days ago and returned to the mechanic 2 days after.

Car was going into limp mode.
Car was examined at Chevy and concluded it was 2 broken knock sensors and also a broken Fuel Drive Module.

Car will be tuned and returned tomorrow.

As for the old engine the problem was pretty serious. I will upload a picture of the report from the dealership when i get a chance.

Piston in cylinder 1 on my engine exploded. Just got my car back on Monday.

Looks like we pretty much had the same exact thing happen.
Sadly after going to the dealer 3 times already we are still having CEL issues hopefully this will be fixed soon
