Anyone have a service engine light and misfire on their 6.2L around 5000 rpm? Been in the dealer twice and I just picked it up and had it scanned again and showed 1300 misfires on cylinder 8, 28 on cylinder 7, and between 2 and 4 misfires on a couple other cylinders. I know its not bad gas and they already tried replacing all 8 plugs and wires. I was also getting an error code for the transmission control module and brake control module.

try and check for the Airflow sensor, the exhaust catalyst sensors (especially bank 1 -pre catalyst-)...good luck

If it were something like that, why would the misfires be skewed so much toward cylinder 8?

I'm not sure or certain but it seems to be electrically caused. I've had similar problems that were related to MAF sensor, catalyzes sensor, camshaft sensor..etc

As much as I love American cars but let's be honest here...the electricity sucks big time, the harnessing and wiring are just so unreliable and tend to break all the time.

Thanks. The only sensors I can ever recall having trouble with were ABS sensors and O2 sensors. I don't think I've ever had a wiring problem in a vehicle. (Edit: I've had failed relays and electric motors.)

No misfires or CEL's.

 

(Also don't think its' been to 5000)

 

Is it a 14 or 15?

 

I'm wondering if it's losing a signal somewhere and the problem is vibration induced at high rpm.

 

 

Interested in what you find.

It's a 2014 with 26,000 miles. The engine light will flash at much lower rpm while towing a load. It seems to be an engine load induced misfire. On my way to the original dealer I purchased the truck from to see what they say.

I would request some diagnostic work. Everyone always wants to go to the electronics or a sensor or check the GM log file for TSB's or what other mechanics have found. Technician may need to do some digging. Let's get back to basics. The engine needs basic things. 1) Air 2) Fuel 3) Spark Considering the problem has seemed to move around to different cylinders, I would check fuel pressure. It may be as simple as a fuel pressure regulator or a fuel pump. Under max load and/or RPM's this is where a weak link will show up. Are the coil packs receiving proper voltage? Are there leaks in the air intake system? Clamps all tight and in place? Just some questions I would ask or want them to verify? There have been some valve spring problems in Corvettes, which I have read have the same parts as our trucks. A weak valve spring will show up at high RPM and is harder to diagnose. Experienced this on an engine I built once and it took a while to diagnose the root cause. Once new springs were installed, engine ran smoothly all the way to redline with no further issues. Engine had proper fuel pressure and flow and spark voltage was up to spec. Just some thoughts and hope they help out.

I had an issue with my truck misfiring back when i first got it. All of the plug and wire connectors were dry, meaning there was no dielectric grease in them. Also, had a bad spark plug. After greasing up all the connectors and replacing a spark plug, truck has run fine ever since. Knock on wood.

So first attempt was a cylinder 8 plug and wire, second attempt was all 8 plugs and wires, third attempt was cylinder 8 coil pack, fourth attempt was cylinder 7 coil pack. Truck still misfires. Unbelievably frustrating.

So basically what you are saying is that they are just throwing parts at your truck and hope to get lucky and find the right one? I would look for a dealer that has a technician that will actually do some diagnostic work and find the root cause of the problem. At that point, it can be repaired with one visit instead of playing the guessing game at your expense. I would be asking for a compression test and a leak down test. If both of those come back good, your dealer needs to dig a little deeper and check valve spring pressure. You did not mention how many miles are on your truck. Do you run an oil catch can? If not and you have over 30K miles, you may have excessive valve coking interrupting airflow on cylinders 7 & 8 which could lead to misfire at high RPM. It may be time for them to pull the upper intake manifold and look at your valves. Just some additional thoughts.

What about gas. Is there a possibility there was bad gas introduced to your fuel tank and that is causing the misfires?

What fuel is used in the truck and what does the top side of intake valves look like?

      Winter Returned

      .30” of rain all month and it’s been weeks since that. “Mowed” our two properties today for the first time since July 2nd. It only took 30 minutes because all I had to do was level some weeds and saplings in a few problem areas. Everything else is dead.

      Shift to Park Message Warranty Claim

      By tjonesdfw · Posted

      Dealer reported a failed shifter module assembly so the whole shifter is getting replaced. Yet another premature repair… up to $12,000+ in extended warranty payout in only 5 years and 80,000 miles!

      According to the dealer it’s an internal leak/failure of the compressor.  Again, another failure that shouldn’t happen at only 5 years and 80k miles.  For some reason the compressors must be hard to come by right now, because the truck’s been at the dealer almost a week and they just located a compressor at another dealer several states away today.  We’ll see if this fixes the issue.

      Brake Bleed Procedure

      By needafix · Posted

      I'm not sure if this should be a reply on this thread or a new topic, let me know if it's out of place. This my first post. Thanks 85077522 - ACDelco GM Genuine Parts Brake Master Cylinders. Anyone else had to replace this brake master cylinder yet. I didn't do any brake work, it looks like new parts and I've had the truck for about 4k miles. When it started to throw codes I did the calibrations with a bidirectional scanner and got the codes to clear but they came back so i did the routine; base bleed, automated bleed and final base bleed. All that with Bosch ES16-32N fluid (please look it up). That seemed to fix it but 100ish miles later it failed again so I ran the same process but with a pressure bleeder this time and got the same results, fixed for 100ish miles. The original fluid looked bad and I thought I got most of it out. The codes; P25A2, C05B0-00, C2A1B. I can get them to clear but not for long. The C05B0 indicates a leak in the front circuit (which is bone dry) so I'm thinking of doing the bleed process on that front again today and I don't know if that's taboo to just do the front but at this point it seems like it's worth the try anyway. The new master cylinder/module unit is supposed to get here today. But now I'm pretty much convinced this install is over my head. I've called several shops and some mobile guys that I know but this thing is like radio active material scary wise. I did get 2 local shops say they should be able to do it, one says he has the SPS2 programing capability. And with the battery disconnected is there supposed to be pedal resistance, mine is to the floor, then if I pump it I can get some resistance.

      I wasn’t commenting on your post. Certainly wasn’t arguing. I was making an observation on my long term experience with supposedly proper length of driving for proper heat cycles. Works for me. Although I have seen water or vapor come out of exhaust when vehicles weren’t run very long and shut off. It’s very humid in the morning. Then hot and humid.
