    well i see changes to the fuel system settings for base fuel pressure along with injector changes

    has the car been modified injectors or anything because you may want upload a stock file and see if the same thing happens to verify if its tune related or not

    when the reduce power comes on is that when you had the code pop up - im a gm tech and i can look it up to see if theres any bulletins or anything if you can give me the dtc

    i think from memory it was P0086 or 89 -fuel pressure regulator ,doesnt do it on stock file ,i modded the fuel tables and it doesnt do it now ,but now it has oil pressure problems if you get into it to much and blows smoke higher up in the revs ,maybe i need to learn about smoke limitation tables

    now i know theres some parts about using the gm diag systems - but at least theres some information to check on

    do you have a red oil light on for the oil pressure or engine noise? what color is the smoke?

    engine symptom doc

    TCSS07 you the man !

    It's fairly common to think the tune is at fault when in fact it's not.

    that's all the info i could find about oil pressure and fueling for service bulletins - everything else was just normal flow chart diag - check fuel pressure,oil pressure,air leaks and what not
    but from what you posted in the first post id start with the fuel pump cleaning
    also again with the oil pressure - any lights come on the ipc - red oil light - hearing noise?
