Hi guys:
Happy Friday to you all. My weekend has gotten off to a horrible start. Last nite, I went out for a little cruise. I did a hard launch, everything was perfect. When I came out of the pass, decelerating, the engine began to sputter. The SES light was on. It sounded like an exhaust leak at first, it was lacking power and sounded terrible. Needless to say, I limped it home and called GM in town. They told me to bring it down and they would scan it. I asked if they thought i should really drive it. The service advisor advised me to go ahead. While driving, the SES light began to flash, I was looking for a place to pull over. The car stalled.
At this point, I am terrified. I call a friend with a towtruck. He arrives, asks if it will turn over. NO harm in trying, right? I give it a turn, and it sounds like a siezed engine would. We proceed to the local dealership. I get in the car to try to roll the windows up, no battery power.
Can anybody set my mind at ease, or at least lie to me? The temp and oil press. did not so much as fluctuate. I checked the oil level, perfect. Please somebody tell me something.
