I'm getting frustrated, I have a 2001 2500 HD,  6.0 liter,  I parked it for about a year or so and when I got it out it was running rough,   keeps giving me the Po300 code  multiple misfire,    I changed the spark plugs and this did not help,  so I starting looking other places, I found a couple of injectors that weren't working, so I changed them out with some rebuilt ones I bought on Ebay,    I installed them  and it seems to be hitting on the cylinders that were not working but still runs rough but now it pops out the exhaust and I still get the code,   so I changed the  spark plug wires since they were originals, still no better.       I have sprayed the intake and all around it with carburetor cleaner and no change is noticed there,     

 

Anyone have any suggestions ?

Injectors- (get NEW not rebuilt, that's just asking for trouble with rebuilt)

New plugs, AC Delco brand ONLY. 

new fuel filter

is all of the old gas out of it? 

How's the air filter? 

Where did it sit during the year?  Any chance rodents got to the wiring? 

Coil(s) may be bad as well. 

What shape is the battery in?

How much have you driven it since you got it out?

DId you fill with fresh gasoline?  Add a full bottle of Techron to clean the fuel system out.Run the heck out of it for a couple of days.

Injectors were rebuilt 

New plugs I only use Ac Delco in GM

Fuel filter is fairly new changed just before I parked it

Fresh Fuel and Sea Foam in tank 

K&N Filter cleaned and re installed 

Truck sat Outdoors  I have looked but haven't seen any evidence of Rodents or wires under the hood or Cab  chewed 

Is there a certain place I should look ?

coils ?  I unplugged each one and they seem to be working but might be intermittent

Brand new Battery 

I haven't driven the truck because of how it runs so I haven't plated it.

      Mixed info from dealer and manual RE: 10 Speed 45K service

      By tjonesdfw · Posted

      I'm the original poster of this thread; I'm 85,000 miles now with no transmission issues after they did the fluid change without filter at 45,000.  I plan on a fluid change AND filter in another 5,000 miles and agree with you on staying to witness what happens if possible.  Ideally I would have done the filter at 45,000 too, but my original dealer was incompetent.  I've since moved on and get service done by another more reputable dealer, so I'm hopeful they follow the correct procedure at 90,000.

      Sure, but they do have some affordable options like the Trax, Trailblazer, Envista, and Encore. Some of these have a cheaper base price than the Civic, though the fuel economy isn’t as high. The main problem is that people WANT the highest trim with all the goodies and finance for like 7 years. That’s how ppl “afford” the more expensive vehicles.

      Holy s**t - not much of a parts thrower you say? You BLASTED that thing with the parts cannon!  You'd have been probably $1,000 ahead if you had just brought it to a competent shop rather than shotgunning a bunch of parts it clearly didn't need.   Just FYI - oil additives are really, REALLY good at ONE thing ... and that's emptying your wallet. They're ALL useless gimmicks.   If that has the L94 or L99, then #7 is an AFM cylinder. I'd suspect a failed lifter in that case.   If you leaned on wiring, sensors, and/or connectors while changing the oil, you'll have to check all that to be sure pins didn't get pulled out, connectors broken, etc.. Old wire loom that was barely adequate when new is certainly brittle by year 19 - make sure wires aren't chaffed and shorting out somewhere where you might have leaned. or supported yourself on it.   If your a mechanic, why didn't you just find out what you were missing and troubleshoot from there??  TIMED spark, fuel PSI / injector pulse, air, compression.  Can't make ANY money going the parts cannon route.

      LOL! Are you joking?? That wax SUCKS! 100% gimmick made to "look" good.    After just TWO winters I had severe surface rusting in patches over 90% of the frame. Only reason it looks great in the pics is because I SATURATED the frame every single fall with used motor oil for 14 of the 16 years I owned it. Otherwise it would've been sent to the crusher 8 years earlier with the speed it was rusting prior!    I sold that POS 3 years ago. Was a gigantic headache the second it rolled off the showroom floor. Brakes pulsated on the TEST DRIVE. Door trim fell off the 1st week! Interior squeaked and rattled, and the drivetrain clunked after 2k miles. 4x4 switch failed shortly after. Front end - ball joints, struts, hub bearings - all failed between 38k-50k. Engine started burning oil at 50k. Rear and and transmission failed before 100k. Nothing but problems, and frustration with the piss-poor engineering designed to make you give up. Well, it worked! Nothing on that truck was easy to remove ... except the wheels. They haven't figured out how to screw that up yet. Give 'em time ...   I won't make that mistake again. EVER.   Such fond memories ... https://postimg.cc/K1qf23tS  https://postimg.cc/gallery/X02z64J  https://postimg.cc/gallery/mHSRXZv  https://postimg.cc/gallery/D4mMRfL

      OBD not ready?

      By davester · Posted

      Different monitors do their test only under conditions specific to that monitor.  you MIGHT find the drive cycle conditions for the monitor that isn't ready on this site: https://lemon-manuals.la/   If it's not there, then it should be on alldata.com for your truck, but it requires a paid subscription.   And you need to know which specific monitor isn't ready.
