My wife just had the same thing in her Buick. A mouse made a nest under the engine cover and chewed through some of the wires. I sliced them back together and it runs great now. I threw away the worthless engine cover to deter the mice.

I have a 2005 GT premium conv with a vortech v-2 supercharger that I bought in Michigan. I have had it in california now for 2 month and it has been running like crap. It stalls while idling at lights it idles betwee 300 and 1000 rpm and it has gone into failsafe mode about 4 times. The last time it went into failsafe mode the check engine light came on. Luckily i finally found a dealer who will work on it without voiding my warranty, although they are about 50 miles away. Does anyone know what might be causing all of this? thanks
It's impossible to tell without knowing what kind of error codes are being generated. Do you have access to a OBD code reader? I saw one today for $69 or you can take it to the auto parts store and many will read the codes for free for you.

I just had that failsafe light come on. but i was dicking around with the wiring for the cams. my brother (whos got an associates in high performance technology) said it wouldnt hurt the car but when i flipped the toggle boom that light came on

I had that problem several weeks ago. Unplugged the CPS harness when I painted my valve covers. Forgot to plug it back in. Car didn't know which end was up.
My brother told me to turn the key from off on (not kranking over the engine) like 20 times and it worked it cleared the failsafe mode. it has yet to come back
