Hi Scotty

Big Fan, found your channel by mistake through CrisFix's channel

Anyhow, I have that Chevy traverse 2011 (140K miles) for a year, bought it used for a really good price, it had a P0420 and P0430 Codes (Catalytic converter problems cost me about 1000$) so I went and replaced those, the codes are gone.

In addition I had a LPG kit Added (a one where it gives 70% gas 30% fuel) and it ran grate (cost 3500$).

I had some problems with the AC the gas ran out, Last week I Refilled Gas at a dealership (cost 100$) but before that I had some problems with the engine, it was loosing power standing in place, the screen said "Reduced Engine Power" and i had the following error codes (read it with ELM327 connected to my cell phone and Car Scanner Running) P029D, P0089, P0087, P0300, P0301, P0303, P0134, P0141, P0989, P0877

I was SCARED, I disconnected the negative pole from the battery and waited for 20 min then reconnected, the car seemed sketchy but ran.

Now Why did i tell you about the AC gas, because that guy also reset all the codes and since then the machine is running ok.

it all started when I bought the damd car the guy told me that the radio is stealing power from the battery, and it is, when the car is locked it takes 0.7 amp and I had a battery with cold start current of 560 amp (the car takes a minimum of 730 amps) so i changed the battery, and if the car is standing more than a day it won't start.

so my questions are:

1) maybe the battery I bought is also not what the car needs?

2) the radio is connected to an internal amp so I'm not delighted to replace it, should I, or just put a relay connected to the switch that disconnects power to the radio?

3) how can I check if the engine is really faulty (leaking Injector and faulty fuel pump and random misfires).

I'm fixing my car at home for the most part, I go to dealerships only when I have no other choice (I don't trust them, I've been haged too many times).

thanks for the advice because I'm really tired from all these malfunctions/

The two reasons i keep this car are: I need the 8 Real (not kiddies) seats, and the car is crazy comfortable to drive, I use it to commute every day
