Default Need advice quick, about clutch replaced.

Just had my clutch replaced and the tech is trying to test drive it however after it starts it slowly starts to shut down like its a security thing. I don't what him to hook it up to the GM computer because I don't want my tune stripped. Anyone else have this happen.

Hooking up the GM Scan tool won't Reflash your PCM... He has to prompt the GM computer to RE-Flash your PCM.. Is he just doing this to get the codes? You could just key the ignition to ON, Hold the Options Button and Hit the FUEL Button Four Times to get your Codes too..

Found the problem, when he replaced the clutch the engine pitched back and pulled the mass air flow sensor out of the rubber boot. You got to love it when its a easy fix.

He installed a center force clutch and its nothing like the GM clutch. I've only put 5 miles on it so far. Today will tell the big difference.
