    Default P0300 and pulling my hair out!

    I have been chasing my tail on this issue. The truck pops off when I kit the key then slows to a rough stumble of a idle after about 10 seconds or so it settles in and idles fine but with some missing. I have replaced or tested everything that I can think of still no dice. The truck started fine this morning when the temp was about 20F outside. I logged a start up, im out of ideas and starting to think this is a tune issue more then a part issue.

    The thing that bugs me is once you get above 10% it stops missing and pulls hard, I have a log of running down the road if anybody wants to see it. Any ideas would be great as I'm out of ideas!

    Well, I certainly don't know your vehicle/OS as well as others..but a few questions...

    I see you have a current DTC for EGR. Did the problems start after you disabled EGR?

    Your LTFT's are pretty high (positive). That is equating to lean. Hard to know without an actual wideband, but thats a lot of +LTFT's for Idle.

    How is the health/age of your O2 sensors? Any chance of a log with H02S11 and H02S21 logged?

    Tune-wise, looks like you are running MAF-closed loop. You may just need to add some more MAF Airflow vs Frequency to correct those LTFT's.

    Thats all I can see on a quick look. Good luck.

    I can log what ever you want me to log I'm very green in the tuning dept. The health or condition of my O2's is a ? I have not replaced them. No the DTC is from me not setting the mil's yet to reflect me blocking it off. I blocked the EGR off thinking it was stuck open and causing my missing condition. Thanks
    for the help

    It doesn't take much of a lean condition to cause misfiring. Did this issue start happening after tuning, the PCM swap, the cam swap?

    Hi haulinit,

    Remove the pids O2BIAS11/12 and add the pids HO2S11/21, MAP and MAF, and capture a new log.

    How many miles on your O2 sensors...?
    Does coolant level stay the same...?
    Do you have any airleaks at/under the intake manifold...?
    What is condition of spark plug and wires...?

    +1 when did this start happening...?

    I have had the cam in for over two years with a Wheatley tuned black box, right before the PCM swap I was getting a high RPM miss above 4500 and WOT. If you didnt give it 100% throttle it wouldnt miss. Found out I had a bad injector replaced it and that took care of that miss. The truck started fine with the black box. After I switched to the 0411 it started having idle problems. The truck had 78,000 miles on it when I bought it, it now has 128,000 on it and I havent changed them. The coolant level stays the same ( I used the good fel-pro gaskets for the intake when I changed the cam). I checked for leaks and did not find any. New AC-Delco cap and rotor last night, plugs are about 1wk old. Tested the wires they were in good condition.

    The start up issue started after the PCM swap. I will have to change the PIDs tonight and go relog.

    I was thinking if the truck was lean why would it start better when the temp was cold wouldnt that make it worse by making it leaner? Thinking out loud!

    When your car first starts it is utilizing B3605 (Commanded Fuel). The colder it is the richer your fueling will be at start-up.

    The LTFT correction we were referencing is determined by B3802. The Idle LTFT's do not usually kick in until 60-70 C (PCM may reference Cold Idle Learning Fuel Cell).

    You are 'lean' when you enter closed-loop. You PCM believes you need more fuel and is adding an additional 11% fuel with every pulse of the injector. Again, colder more oxygen is available for engine..you may be starting out rich enough to start, but once you hit closed-loop you are immediately lean. Thats why you really need to know the status of those two front narrowbands. If they are slow, not switching properly, or have a significant intake leak..you could chase the problems for a long time.

    Hope that helps..

    I think I may have miss lead you a lil bit. The fueling does not have time to go to closed loop fueling it starts to stumble the second the idle comes off the initial start then becomes rough. The idle slowly comes up to desired idle and smooths out.

    No, I get it.

    Your initial Idle prior to entering closed-loop is the problem (cold-Idle). I was just stating that the health and age of your O2's will determine how quickly and efficiently you can enter closed-loop. The LTFT's are stored. There is some interplay on LTFT's and start-up. So if you are lean yesterday, the PCM will be trying to add fuel even on start-up (as you enter closed-loop).

    Its possible your VE Table may not be accurate. Do you have the ability to monitor or preferably log wideband AFR?

    So, we are 'guessing' on this end that it is fueling-related. I was just suggesting to verify that your O2's were up to the task. We only have the LTFT's at this point to make and educated guess. Either way, fresh O2's are never a bad idea.

    Good luck.
