Car stalls at half-full throttle need help....

[jmihalchik]

Well, it all started when i could not disable the security system so i added my own fuel pump relay and the car started. Revved it in the driveway and the car revs fine to about 3,000 (part throttle) any more its flashes the engine light and stalls. If i stab the gas it dies right away. Any body has a clue? I checked for codes and all i got was the diagnosis code of 12.

thanks

12 means the ECU is operating properly. What chip do you have? It's possible the chip has an anti-theft or a valet feature. If you're unsure of the chip or it's an old one just get a new one. Chips have come ALONG way in the last several years and are not expensive. My personal preference would be a turbotweak. Good luck. james

I got it going good again. I disconnected the battery and retried the disabling sequence and it was good. Are these chips in this car soldered in or are they clipped?

Before we tell you how to get this car running, we'd just like to make sure that It's not stolen from one of us. What area do you live in? I'm sure that one of us would be glad to help a fellow Turbo Buick owner.

Were here to help.
Happy spooling.
