I've had the same issue Sam, just went back to the dealer and explained that there cutting the lower Tmap side fastner off and turning it didn't work, besides installing it with zip ties, tried to tell me it was a GM fix, per a bulletin they received, asked to see that, just can't seem to locate it, told them to order another Tmap sensor and when it gets in to redo the pigtail connections, since when it does happen to go to 5lb all I have to do is wiggle the lower wires and it's fine, just a bad install, if they don't get right this time I'll contact our cust. serv. rep.

Added a hitch for towing a small camper
This didn't happen today, but since I used to camp a lot with my motorcycle and sold it over a year ago I decided that camping was an activity that I was still interested in. The Owners manual says that the HHR is capable of towing 1000 lbs. After looking around I discovered that there are very few campers that weigh 1000 lbs or less. One catagory that does meet the specs however is a motorcycle pop-up camper. I bought the camper here locally from Craigs List (used) and the trailer hitch from e trailer on the internet. I bought the Aspen Ambassador and modernized it with Air Mattress's and a rolling folding front wheel support.
welcome aboard flmj!

In Keeping with my Black & Purple...
Keeping with my Black with some Purple accents on my Panel, I just added a Rat Fink that is Black with Purple Overalls and is 24 inches tall. 
He will sit in the back with one of my life sized Skeletons that also sits in the back. Waiting on him to be shipped, pics from ebay seller.
I have a 12 inch one in the Traditional Green color with Red Overalls. He sits under the hood on my K&N air box while parked at local cruise nites.
(Not sure were he will sit after the Blower is installed.) He holds the sticker you see in my Signature, I cut Coroplast (plastic carboard used in Sign making) to size and it fits in his hands.
I dig em.

Do a search for - Rat Fink Bank and you'll find them. There are a few colors available. Even a "Glow in the Dark " one.
Supposedly there were only 100 of these made, I can't find any info that supports that claim.
Is it 100 in each color combo or 100 Total? Who knows.
There not cheap. My early B-Day gift to me. (thank god for Cash Gifts to offset the cost)
I believe the seller has another one like mine listed right now at $195.00 Plus $30.00 shipping.
I believe these were about $80.00 when first issued several years ago.
It Matched my color choices for my Panel with the Black, Purple, and silver/gray and lime green on it that I just Had to have him.
BTW- the Green 12 inch one, I got him on Amazon for $29.61,(now at $30.49) his shoulders are jointed and so are his wrists, also a Bank. In case you were interested in that one.
