F******g Peace Of S***t

so i'm moving from alberta to NFLD, my car ******* dies in tunder bay ont, my car could push extreme boost, i can max out the boost gauge. makes a hissing sound, and has loss of power, so the dealer here says "the cel was a crank sensor, were gonna replace that tomorrow" and i'm like... uhh sounds like a clogged cat... they told me they couldnt check it.... so i call another dealer, and they say "if it is the cat its gonna take a week to get it, cuz it gotta come from the USA" ...... i was furious, i called gm canada and the bitch i was talkin to pretty much told me tuff titty, and they wont do anythin else untill they install the crank sensor..... HOW THE **** WOULD THE CRANK SENSOR CAUSE ALL THIS. EXP THE NOISE I'M HEARING! im so pissed its not even funny, gm will only pay up to 500$ for me to stay in hotels while my car is getting fixed.... so if i do have to wait a week, i'm gonna blow a gasket... cuz it'll be costing a me money.... god damn **** gm, **** em all..... i'm done with GM, for ever...... mother ******* **** sucking basterds

well if the crank sensor is failling, the the engine will not start. this is not causing overboosting what so ever. the dealership is retarded.

Your all upset about GM but yet you broke the rules with your mods for the warnity. Does not make much sense to me man. If you had all GMP then I Can see you being pissed off. You can't just get everything handed to you on a silver platter. If you expect them to pay for your hotel stays and everything your crazy. Never the less good luck with everything man.

Dude, relax. They if they want to replace the sensor, let them. If the car works after that, great, no problem any more. Reading your post, you have jumped to the conclusion that your cat is bad without any real investigation. And lets say that is the problem and it does need to be replaced. If they don't have the part, they don't have it. It's nobodys fault. I understand the frustration of a break down and the cost, but its broke. You can't get pissed at people for that.

If your car is OVERboosting, I'd say its your cat.

Someone gave you neg rep? That's messed up. I would PM a mod and contest that.

Anywho, if you're overboosting, there's a restriction somewhere. Most logical is your cat. How long after your exhaust issue was sorted out did these issues start?

EDIT: +rep to even ya back out,
