Now this might be some valuable info for LS1, LS2 etc owners....
The battery in my C6 was dead last week, I wasn't surprised since that battery is about 4 years old and the car had been sittingbfor three weeks.... so I jumpstarted the car and drove it almost 100 miles that day, everything was ok.
Two days ago I had to jumpstart it again so I thought no big deal, jumpstart it and drive it over to the store and get a new battery.... Well, not that easy....
Jumpstarted it and it ran very rough. Tach was not working in either the dash and the HUD.... Drove the car and nticed it would not rev past (guessing) 3000rpm, misfired a few times .... Went back home and read the codes: P0335 and 0336 crank position sensor. At this time I'm thinking oh shit this is going to be expensive...
Read a few things on the net about this, amazing how much bad info is out there:
"you cannot jumpstart a LS1"
"it's ok to jumpstart but you have to go to the dealer so that they can re-programm the computer"
"When you install a new crank sensor you have to re-program the computer"
"Low battery will destroy the crank sensor"
And more such nonsense.....
Just put a new battery in there 20 minutes ago, car runs perfectly fine again.....
