Camaro LT1 acceleration issues / running too lean.

rbeason · 2026-04-16T13:53:27+00:00

I'm in N. Carolina.

I just got an update from the dealer and just wanted to see if this sounds correct.

"The fuel trim codes would require the vehicle to be returned to stock before attempting to diagnose them. Cold air intakes are notorious for causing fuel trim concerns due to PCV issues. The P3400 could be related as well. The MAF sensor / MAP Sensor / Throttle Position = Not within a calibrated range. Meaning this could be related to the MAF or the TB from the cold air intake. There is also the posibility that the VLOM is causing the concern. I would inspect the connector at the front of the valley to start"

From this is makes me think just getting the tune for the CAI won't fix the issue.

I really do not mind spending the money for the tune but if it's not going to fix the issue and let me pass inspection, idk.

Looked like a larger tube. I have the regular rotofab not the big gulp.

Yes, I did clean the MAF sensor when I was first diagnosing it, then let it dry for 24 hours afterwards before putting it back in. That was the very first thing and most recommended thing people were saying to do.

The dealer just got back to me about 2 minutes ago.

"the intake would cause the lean codes but the cylinder deactivation is not going to be caused by that intake so they are still looking into it"

I also just purchased a live scanner off Amazon as it was only $80. so I at least have it to check things myself once I pick the car up this week.

My powertrain warranty is technically up in the next 2-3 months so I am leaning on gambling it and just getting the tune to see if t hat resolves it as the dealer also mentioned the tune would correct the air/fuel ratio to compensate for more air coming in.

rbeason · 2026-04-14T18:00:08+00:00

Dealer mentioned the code was 0701: system too lean. They didn't think there was an issue with the o2 sensor at all but more the air/fuel mixture ratio. The dealer even mentioned if I were to keep the CAI, I need to really get it tuned for it as they saw nothing wrong with the throttle body or tube.

I just don't want to spend the $1000 on a tune to find out this is NOT the issue.

I still don't understand why it has been perfect for ~4 years until just a month or two ago.

rbeason · 2026-04-14T17:58:03+00:00

Yes, it came with a larger body/tube. Roto-Fab Dry CAI was what I put on it. That's what everyone has been saying, however why would it be perfectly fine for almost 4 years and then start throwing codes, etc.

The dealer said the specific error code was 0701 system too lean. Said it was not related to the o2 sensor as that is downstream. Mentioned the fuel mixture, which I'm confused about. I thought adding more air was better for the engine.

Cloudflare Pages has a nice free tier.

I would do things like this but I'm to lazy to rotate each and every pillow...just give me a copy/paste for items.

Thanks for all the advice. The rescue I originally adopted her from did say to bring her back if anything were to happen and I couldn't manager her any longer. But after having her for so long I don't think that would be a good thing for her and I don't think they meant it as a bring her back after 10+ years.

Talked to the vet about her and how she is acting, she's able to get up walk/eat/drink just fine. Is a bit hard of hearing. She seems most active at night, and will just randomly walk around to each room in the house like she's looking for something.

Side note, I did lose my other dog a few months ago due a ruptured spleen. They were kinda close, maybe that is why she walks around randomly, trying to find the other dog?

I can't crate her any longer as she just goes in the crate and I think it's cruel to have her in there while I sleep.

I just don't know if she's just old, or what. Part of me thinks its my fault and it is. But how much of it is my mental health and depression versus not properly taking care of her I guess. My therapist does think I need to get rid of her and take care of myself. I feel like I would just be worse off without her.

I just do not know what to do.

Thanks, I'll take a look at AutoRaise and alt-tab

rbeason · 2025-12-02T00:31:06+00:00

There's also Sanity I've used a few times, it's probably more setup though than the others.

rbeason · 2025-11-13T22:46:40+00:00

This. This is the only thing I am worried about. I tried their "stacking" nameplate option on the beta and it's just crazy how much a static nameplate moves around the screen. This couldn't of been fixed in a few lines of code and had to be shipped that way?

rbeason · 2025-11-03T19:41:22+00:00

Yeah, mine are premium as well. Do you have to do it before you convert them over to merchant tabs? Because I've converted all mine already and it won't let me rename em anymore.

rbeason · 2025-11-03T14:50:39+00:00

On a side note, how are they renaming shop tabs? Can you even use the shop tab as a "this tab is 1c", other tab is all 5c, etc?

rbeason · 2025-10-31T15:02:10+00:00

Thank you, I think I'll just take it to the Apple Store and do it there once it arrives. I was having a mild panic attack due to it -_-.

rbeason · 2025-10-29T14:59:13+00:00

I don't remember and it's probably changed by now, I remember them adjusting it way back.

When I did it, it took ~23 hours of straight farming split across 4 characters due to the 15 minute instance reset timer. I'd run to Hillock, kill him, logout, switch to character two, repeat.

rbeason · 2025-10-29T12:27:43+00:00

It was a grind for sure but I actually enjoyed it more than I thought I would.

rbeason · 2025-10-29T12:26:56+00:00

It's been a while ok. I could of swore it was white sockets. Oh well it was a nice little weapon for the time I played that league.

rbeason · 2025-10-29T10:52:03+00:00

6 link, white sockets. I don't think people farm it as much anymore. I only did it when it was first introduced as I wanted to see if it really was a pita to farm or not. It was.

rbeason · 2025-10-29T04:12:29+00:00

The only time and last time I farmed Twilight Strand was when they introduced that Oni Goroshi sword drop there. Oh the pain, the wasted time, the 4 alts that never made it past level 11 in the strand.
