Ashley P Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 Yet, you have codes, some are U codes. How many modules communicate? Certainly a ground issue can cause any codes. But guessing at repairs is not my most common way of fixing cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll add grounds before I do anything else as it's the easiest and cheapest fix to start with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashley P Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 If a starter motor "drags" because of poor connections/bad cable, that connection/cable will become HOT after prolonged cranking attempts. If you find any cable that is warm after attempting to crank, replace/upgrade it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashley P Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 ..and I'm curious as to how many modules are communicating when your key is ON, engine OFF. Clear the codes, recheck without cranking. Verify EVERY module is communicating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnC Posted July 18, 2023 Author Share Posted July 18, 2023 I'm sure heat soak and age might have degraded my starter. So I'm going to put this bad boy on as well.... https://www.summitracing.com/parts/pwm-9509/make/chevrolet/model/camaro/year/2010 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnC Posted July 24, 2023 Author Share Posted July 24, 2023 Hot start issue is fixed. Ground cables fix it. Had the car up to 210F coolant temp, idled and drove over and hour. Shut it off and restarted like new! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnC Posted August 9, 2023 Author Share Posted August 9, 2023 Now on to heat extraction..... Car cools fine when moving. Cools fine when sitting with AC off. Turn AC on not moving and just idling and you can watch the coolant temp rise, rise and rise. Theory. All the shit in front of the radiator (Intercooler, trans cooler, AC condenser), heat from LT headers, heat from supercharger, etc., is trapped by the lack of airflow and venting under the hood. Solution. Chop hole in hood. Rivet hood vent in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnC Posted August 9, 2023 Author Share Posted August 9, 2023 Ordered the center and side vents for the hood. Now on to brakes. My pads are about gone.... Got these CTSV 6 piston Brembo brake calipers laying around..... Might rebuild with vented ZO6 pistons and re powder coat them. Or stay stock and just do pads and rotors.

JohnC Posted August 13, 2023 Author Share Posted August 13, 2023 Tested my theory. Car cooled OK with AC off yesterday. Turned AC on sitting in Starbucks drive through 198F to start, hit 214F before I got moving. I was turning AC off as much as I could stand it to keep it from rising too much. Fwiw… I’ve seen it hit just over 220F before I got moving before. I normally turn it off once it gets over 210F, but this was just to see how the car would act. Keep in mind, I have a Mishimoto thermostat in there that opens earlier than a stock one. So got to Crumbl Cookie to get me some diabetes and while waiting on the cookies with AC on, I opened the hood. Viola, the car started cooling down — with AC on! So can’t wait to get those new hood vents installed! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They improved and learned how to roast coffee. Still not the best, but I drink it. When I buy the good stuff I get whole bean from roasters like George Howell Coffee.
