Default What would you do VS shop?

The starter housing on my corvette cracked. Seeing that I really just moved down to Houston, I figure, screw it I'll have a shop do it. This was mostly due to the fact that you have to drop my long tube headers to get it out, and I don't have a lift nor know anyone with a lift I could use.

Tell them to put in a lifetime GM starter, and give her an oil change while there are in there.

ok no biggy no surprises they are done in two days.

Drive the car for ~30 miles, and she is running like crap, and throws the CEL.

Should I go back, or not? Figure they fucked it up this much, why let them make it worse?

5 CELS

P0132
P0174
P1416
P1255
U1064

Oh and of course when I dropped off the car there was no CELS at all! BALLS.

Most of those look like exhaust and o2 related codes. One is for an air valve that you may need to clean out. I'd probably take it back to them and let them check it out. Could just need to have the ecu reset, or the o2 sensors could have possibly come loose. Does it sound like there is an exhaust leak?

Not really, but the weirdest thing is I am almost 100% sure I had the o2's tuned out on the vette. I *think* my car runs open loop all the time. I really need to get hp tuners or something and tune the car myself.

Edit:

The codes are lean bank/high voltage o2/ air pump/ brake module malfunction/ lost communication with brake module.
