so i took my car to slowboy and had them fix a whole bunch of stuff on my car, and tune it as well, ended up being close to $1100, and they said everything was fixed, so i drive it home and it seems fine, except the fact that when i stop, rpm's still drop low, like 300, but the afc reads 700+, wonder why? and i dont drive it for a day, then today i go out, and it seems kinda sluggish, like slower than when i first got it, so i stop at auto zone and had them check the CEL's, and this is what i got

now i checked the manual and figured most of them out, but thats a lot of codes to have when sbr said they fixed everything and it runs the way it should run, any ideas on what to do? should i try unplugging the negative terminal and see if the codes will come back or not?
 
it also seems to be slower than normal, like i lost some hp or something like that, its weird, why would all them codes be on there?
 
because i had my head built, and i have bigger cams in there, and the company who built it said they recommend me gettin an afc to help control the lopey idle, and i have a few other mods, so i could adjust a/f ratio. that and i got it for almost half price, but the concern is all the CEL's i have, not why i have an afc
 
wow, thats awesome. actually i took of the negative terminal and let it re-learn, and only 2 codes came up, one for the map sensor, and o2 sensor, but i just replaced it like a month ago, so im wondering why that code keeps coming up?

also, it seems slower that it was before, i hardly feel the pull of the cams after 4500rpms like i used to, and it goes thru gas like crazy, i put on like 100-150 miles maybe, and went thru 5/8's tank of gas, thats like 10-15 miles per gallon, whats up with that?!?!

and doesnt 112 lbs of torque, and 134 hp seem low for my mods?
 
EVERY time I disconnect my battery(or reset ecu) my car does the same thing, it goes to limp mode and has to relearn so to speak. I bet you if you drive it like 50 miles +/- it will straighten out. Unless you have a credible code that wont clear then you have a prob.
 
yeah, theres only 2 codes, 14 and 21, 14 being MAP sensor voltage out of normal range, and 21 being O2 sensor voltage to the computer not fluctuating. now i just replaced my O2 sensor not even a month ago, so why would that code come up? and as far as the MAP sensor code, i heard that having the SAFC sends a bad signal from the MAP to the ECU, and thats why i get that code, does that sound right?
 
I also had a prob with my front o2 sensor. it wasnt bad but I later noticed my harness clip had broken when I did my last tranny install. It was sitting on the connector but wasnt snaped in all the way.
