    reduced engine power

    i put my intercooler and meth on my truck and took it to be tuned.the guy calls me today and told me evertime he puts throttle to floor reduced engine power light comes on.it was doing this before but just ever so often,when it did do it,it was only at idle and it wouldn't crank back up intill i cleared the codes.before i carry it to have it tuned i reprogramed pcm with gm's latest calibrations.hoping that would take care of it.any ideas?maybe throttle body bad?

    Sounds like possibly a bad MAP sensor or wiring to it. Putting the wrong MAP sensor in it will cause issues, too. Are you running a stock MAP, 2, 2.5 or 3 bar MAP sensor?

    the guy tuning it changed it to speed density.you think that might have something to do with it?it was doing it before i even put turbo on it.but then it was doing it at idle in drive at redlight and it would shut off and i would have to clear codes before it would crank back up.now its doing it only at wot

    He may have the wrong MAP file in the tune. You didn't answer which sensor you have. I can't read your mind!

    I wonder if he rescaled the MAP sensor field for the new sensor? I can't pretend to know more than he does but maybe he forgot to change the scaling. Mine did the same thing when I had a tune for a 2 MAP sensor loaded but had the factory MAP sensor installed.

    U mentioned it did it at idle. That tells me it's
    Not map or tuned related.
    Gm has an issue with bad terminals or wiring.

    From each terminal ohm out each wire about 2feet from the throttle body.
    Wiggle the wire while u do this

    Find which wire has the open.
    That's the first thing we'd check here.

    Or a bad corroded terminal
