Our dealer did mine......free....under warranty....

 

All dealers should do this too if they are doing as they should. This is a warranty issue and if they fix it it will be less of a issue for them in the future.

 

Mine would not. Said that if I wanted to pay for it they would. In fact they troubleshot the issue on the wastegate solenoid and that won't fix it. Running crappy, turbo making a loud sound whenever you take your foot of the gas - I was given the car back. And I've had the connectors replaced once already so I took a pair of needle nose plyers and bought some time to make the car run ok (Thanks to the other thread with pics).

From looking at the connecters and the placement it should be a surprise that these critical connections are going to fail the way it was installed - atleast on mine.

 

It's always worth a try. From what I hear on here, the dealers seemed to want to ignore wiring with the Stage Kit but rather chase endless parts. remember, I was getting a MAF code.. WTF!! I've still not had an issue yet after just doing to top wires

 

Not by me, i was your first( Chevy manager )and 54000 miles later still running like a champ

 

P0101???? Thats what im getting. I moved my appointment up to this friday instead of next saturday

 

I think I am going to do this just to be on the safe side and to prevent any future issues.

 

if you have a k & n filter, oil mist may get the wire on the maf sensor dirty. it is possible to spray with carb cleaner & clear the code. i've done this succesfully. or this
Action Taken When the DTC Sets



DTC P0101 is a Type B DTC.
The ECM will disable boost control, and limit the system to mechanical boost only, resulting in a substantial decrease in engine power.
Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC

DTC P0101 is a Type B DTC.

Diagnostic Aids



The charge air cooler (CAC) is connected to the turbocharger and to the throttle body by flexible ductwork that requires the use of special high torque fastening clamps. These clamps cannot be substituted. In order to prevent any type of air leak when servicing the ductwork, the tightening specifications and proper positioning of the clamps is critical and must be strictly adhered to.
Use a solution of dish soap and water in a spray bottle to pinpoint any suspected air leaks in the induction system and in the CAC assembly.
A steady or intermittent high resistance of 15 ohms or greater on the ignition 1 voltage circuit will cause the MAF sensor signal to be increased by as much as 60 g/s.
Certain types of contaminants on the MAF sensor heating elements act as a heat insulator, which will impair the response of the sensor to airflow changes. This condition will affect the Long Term Fuel Trim adaptation value.
Depending on the current ambient temperature, and the vehicle operating conditions, a MAF sensor signal circuit that is shorted to the IAT signal circuit will increase or decrease the MAF sensor signal that is interpreted by the ECM. Additionally it may cause a rapid fluctuation in the IAT Sensor parameter.

 

That would be true if someone oiled their filter like mad but from the factory the K&N filters do not bleed. I myself never actually saw the code because the dealer scanned it and then later told me the code. I can also assume that maybe the individual kept reading it wrong but If they did, they should be fired.
If it was the MAP code, then there is some direct link between the Manifold MAPP sensor and the MAP instructions just like there is a link between the MAF and the O2 sensors. I'm pretty sure they are all tied in together.

I had just a tiny resistance in the connectors and after I did what I did, I have yet to have any issue. The HHR SS is running like a champ. I will not say that it is the end all fix to the Stage Kit because I didn't do the Charge Piping MAPP wire. Some might be having an issue in that location bbut in any account, soldering the wires is the best way to eleminate that issue.
