Re: Dealer detuned my GT!
I drove the GT for a week while waiting for the new door latch to come in, and there was no change! When I took it in to have the door latch replaced I talked to the manager, and he instructed the tech to reprogram the update. The service rep didn't know that and stated he had several techs look at it, and none could find the problem. He took the car for a test drive and when he returned stated the GT was running strong. On the way home I couldn't believe the power, but then before I got home the engine light came on. I found that they had pulled the orange line off the turbo! I attached the line and reset the computer, and the power was back! They didn't know that they had fixed it by redoing the update to the PCM, and resorted to pulling the line that operated the waste gate to get me out of there. They pulled the same thing 5 years ago when I bought the car. During the test drive there was power up the but, then when I got the car after they "washed and filled the gas tank" I never saw that power again. I took it back 3 times for them to find why the power was gone. The old tech during the last visit said "you're the guy that was upset about the power loss 5 years ago, well the orange line came off and we just put it back on". Funny that the same day he told me about it the same thing happened again.
