Hey all,
I have a bit of a werid issue going on. During my trip from New York to Denver, I got a check engine light that I chocked up to "bad gas". The engine felt sluggish, although still attained
highway speeds. The light went away after another tank of gas, and power was restored. When I was heading into Neo's house in Moab, the light came back on again, and I got the same
symptoms, lower power and hard starts. I pulled over, and it seemed like the engine had to turn-over for a long time before it popped and then came to life. After leaving Neo's in Moab,
the light went off again, but the power didnt come back to 100% this time. Upon getting to Flagstaff, now the light is back on again, and I am thinking it might be an O2 sensor that is
giving me an incorrect fuel.air mix. Took it to Auto Zone to pull the code, of course, the light goes off, and their OBDII reader cannot retrieve codes from the computer history of the truck, it
only has the capability to retrieve current codes with a CEL active.
Took it to the Caddilac dealer here, they do not have any history of being a Hummer Dealer in previous years. The service manager told me that there is a $95 diagnostic that A) is not covered by the
warranty, and that B) sensors such as the O2 sensor are not covered by the 100k powertrain warranty. Does this make sense? Ive never paid a diagnostic fee in the past because it has all been
chocked up to warranty repairs. Also, shouldnt the powertrain on our Hummers cover all parts necessary to run the engine? less wearable parts like belts, and filters?
Kind of up against a wall, I dont have an OBDII reader of my own, so i agreed to let them run the codes for $95 but I am awaiting a $1000 no warranty estimate that I imagine they are cooking up right now at a Managers Desk...
Neo, Beebs, F5... HELP!!
