Here is a sort of "prequel" to my situation: Bought a GN Today - I'm Back in Black! - TurboBuicks.com
Basically the car died on me one day and I found out it was because the orange ECM wire had a bad connection. While at the shop they found a pin-hole sized puncture in the gas tank and found rust in the tank and lines as well. I had them replace the tank, lines and pump.
Anyway I got my car this evening out of the shop (where it has been for almost a month, which I think is rediculous). The owner called me around 7pm letting me know it was finished, drives perfect, etc. Said he took it around to test it and make sure and everything is fine. I asked him to just hide the key in the wheel well so I could go pick it up (I live about 30-45 mins. away) and he did. It had a new gas tank, fuel lines, Walbro pump, and hotwire kit installed. They also re-did the wiring for the ECM (orange wire that connects to battery) which is what caused the car to shut down on me in the first place.
I get the car from his shop onto the highway (about 5 miles away) and make it two exits down the road. I get on the throttle a little bit to make a pass and as soon as I hit boost (this is the first time I hit boost since getting in the car), the car shuts off and the Service Engine Soon light starts blinking constantly.
I pull over, wait 2 freakin hours for a tow truck, and have it brought back to my house. I plan on having the shop send their tow truck over and bring it back to their shop FREE OF CHARGE, and I also expect them to fix it free of charge. I haven't yet paid my balance (paid for the parts already, but not labor) so if they refuse to fix it at their own cost then I will not pay them and take the car to the local Turbo Buick mechanic, which is where I wanted it in the first place.
Any comments/suggestions you guys can give is appreciated, as always. Specifically, if anyone can tell me what the constant blinking SES light means/what you think the problem could be in relation to the new fuel system that would be great.
