Sunday night I raced a C5 ZO6 and of course I began pulling on him but in
2nd gear around 4500rpms my car bogged out. The rpms dropped to around 3000 then back up to 5000 and so on and so forth. All this happened while at WOT the car would pull and then stop. I then let the car cool down and drove it again this time it didnt do it but it did detonate horribly. I also began idling at 17.1

I am thinking it has to do with the fuel system maybe the fuel pump, or a drop in fuel pressure

 

Hmmm...Utec issue maybe? Have you called GT yet to see what they think?

 

just dropped it off but i want to know whats wrong

 

hopefully nothing to serious and just an easy fix

 

Maybe UTEC saw knock and it pulled timing which feels like a damn rev limiter at times when it does this. Prolly just a bad tank of gas...

 

i bet it is a vacuum hose

 

what about the belt that broke?

 

doubt its a vacuum leak at all

and George the belt that broke was only the AC compressor belt which doesnt matter

 

Did it get caught and damage anything, this problem is really wierd. Sounds like something with the ECU or EMS for sure.

 

I was thinking the same thing because it does feel like I am hitting the rev limiter

 

nope just snapped and I pulled it out. Sam said he would call me today if there was a problem other than with the UTEC. Since he didnt I am assuming it was the UTEC and he will cover the charge.

 

I hope so, i know your dropped a pretty penny there. I sure he will take care of you. Give me a call when you get the car back!

 

did ya win???

 

Yes Before My Car Took A Crap

 

will do

 

Your engine is blowing. Give it a few hundred more miles b4 it break apart.

 

maybe so but who cares I have a built longblock laying around
