I don't understand the code 17 - where did you get the diagnostics for a code 17 for an LT5 in the drivability?

[chriskinzel]

Oops. The code I get is the cam positioning sensor. I can't remember the number.

That would be ECM code 31. I know, cause mine just started popping up. I can rev to redline but I don't feel the secondaries kicking in. I'll be checking the connection soon, but I'll probably need a new sensor.

I`m all ears on this subject of code 31. I`m getting it too. I recently tied my secondaries open and got a chip from Mark H.. Was getting the code before i changed the chip. I`ve tried to troubleshoot it with a stored code and the service engine light off and got good readings. It`s nearly constantly on now so i`ll give it another try. Anyone know where the best/cheapest price is?

I bought mine at NAPA for about $20. The one I took out was good, I was doing the 'throw parts at it because I'm stuck' thing. If you want, I will send you my old but still good one and you can see if it fixes your problem.

Were you talking to me or Rich? That's very generous of you, Rich should have first dibs, but I'd have to pay you something if you were talking to me. A NOS one is worth @ $250.

Whoever needs it to verify that there sensor is bad. Just let me know. I already bought a new one, and it didn't fix my problem so I don't need it anymore. I would be happy to help a brother out.

I cleared the code and have been driving it, no problems so far. I think it's a grounding issue (for me at least) as from time to time I do notice the DIC and Full Power light get slightly dim for a bit, then bright again. We'll see, maybe the sensor is starting to go instead. I'll clean up the ground connections and if it pops up again, I'll replace the sensor.
Did you figure out what was going on with your car?

[chriskinzel]

No. I still have the problem. I will drive it, just not past 5000 RPM until I have saved up enough lunch money to have Marc do his 510 magic. He told me that when I get it back from him it will be perfect. I have no doubt about that. So, for now I drive it like a responsible adult.
