Default Reasons how something can happen...
I am wondering how a car can lose a tune... im almost 100% that my Camaro has lost its tune. It sat for like 3 weeks the battery died and after I started it to bring to the autobody shop it seemed to run like garbo and shift points r off... anyone have any ideas?

I'm pretty sure you can't just lose a tune no matter how long the car sits or the battery is disconnected. You could lose idle, but not the whole tune.

try bringing it to someone who better understand how to read the sensors, or start replacing the easy one's.

If you're near worcester at all I can put my ethos on it and tell you what the sensors are doing.

Why not bring it to the person that does them for a living and knows what to look for from the sensors?

You guy's kill me.
