2011 Tahoe LT. So I did the research on here and determined it seems like the tank purge solenoid is bad. I’ve seen several threads that were a little confusing to me. To verify, we don’t have a metal flapper valve in the filler neck right? I honestly never paid attention to that and my thought...
So I replaced all the O2 sensors a while ago and they were GM replacements. It ran just fine too. It has all new GM sensors actually except the crank sensor. I think what did it is I fill up 3 miles from home. I read that it takes 7 miles from filling to learn what it needs to about what fuel is...
So I’m pretty sure I need to reset the algorithm for the virtual flex fuel sensor. Is there a scan tool that can accomplish this that’s not specific to GM? I’d like to be able to use it on other vehicles. Even better if I could permanently turn off AFM and get rid of the range module. 2011 Tahoe...
It’s steady at 43 which I see is normal for the LMG. Where can I see what numbers are normal for the other sensors? I think everything is normal other than the richness. I have an innova 5610 scanner. It reads everything.
Alright… after driving forever it’s running rich on both banks. There are zero vacuum leaks. Is it really just the injectors flowing way more than it’s used to? I don’t know what I could be missing.
I ordered the GM ones from Rock auto. The have the GM part numbers on them. The numbers matched the originals. I reseated the intake and retorqued it. Emptied a can of brake clean on it again. Nothing. And now there’s a hesitation off the line. It’s getting aggravating.
Alright… it’s still doing the same thing. I doused the intake and injectors in brake clean and there’s definitely no vacuum leak in that area now. I checked around for other leaks and I don’t see anything. When I put the range module in thought all is well. I don’t get it.
So it’s a seal. When I was spraying the intake what I couldn’t see is the brake clean was pooling up over the intake and getting sucked through the injector seal in the intake. It’s annoying cause I lubed the seals before putting them in. Oh well lol.
It’s either an injector seal or the intake manifold. I’m going to pull it and seat the injectors on the manifold properly off the car and just replace the gasket while I’m at it. How common is it to replace the upper intake gasket?
It’s not running like it has a vacuum leak. Also I put the range module back on and the fuel trim codes went away on their own after just 15-20 miles of driving.
It’s a 2011 Tahoe LMG 5.3. The injectors were the factory GM ones that I bought new from rock auto and matched the numbers of the ones I pulled off. I didn’t graph the fuel trims but they stayed at -30.5 driving on both banks and went down to -25.2 when idling. I did not pull a plug. The exhaust...
Ok so all sensors have been replaced a while ago except crank sensor. Plugs and wires done as well. All GM/AC Delco parts. I replaced all injectors last week and it’s running super rich. So much so it through the P0172, P0175, and P0420 low catalyst efficiency codes this morning. What’s weird is...
Well crap lol. I guess I’ll be getting a tuner then. I was wondering if it was an AFM issue but it had a range unit plugged into the OBD port when I bought it. I like to do this myself so what’s a good tuner to get or does it even matter?
Hello all. First post after owning the above mentioned Tahoe for a month. First I will list all I have done to it:
AC Delco everything
-air and oil filter with oil change
-plugs
-wires
-coils
-MAF
-MAP
-O2 sensors
-cleaned injectors
-cleaned throttle body
-cleaned throttle body connector...
