I had identical issues, took a while but traced it down to the high pressure fuel pump..fuel was leaking by it. Replaced it along with spark plugs. I have not had a single issue with it since. I figure someone is still seeing this issue.

*UPDATE:  High pressure fuel pump needed replaced*

 

I just began having the same issues posted above in my 2014 LTZ and have only run 91 octane since getting the truck (almost 80000 miles).  Has the answer for most truck owners been the injectors getting varnished?

Had a 2014 Sierra with an L83 in the shop the other day with this exact same problem (P0172 & P0175 fuel trim rich bank 1 & 2).  Identifix says the cause is a leaking high pressure fuel pump.  The high pressure fuel pump can leak fuel which is then sucked up by the PCV system and ingested by the engine (causing it to run rich, especially at idle).  The test they give is to unplug and cap off the crankcase breather tubes that connect to the air box, and then unplug and cap off the PCV tube at the intake.  If doing this causes the fuel trims to return to normal (near 0%), then the issue is most likely a leaking high pressure fuel pump.

 

This particular 2014 Sierra had 160,000 miles on it so it is quite possible the seals in the high pressure fuel pump have gone bad.

Has anyone checked the alcohol content in the fuel mine reads 69% very high should be below 17% I have read that the ecm needs to be re calibrated and the truck May need a firmware update I have an appointment for this in July will post an update

I have had the same issue on my 2015 GMC Sierra, Dealer diagnosed it as the high pressure fuel pump. Anyone have any luck on getting the attached Recall Bulletin applied to their vehicle to cover the repair? The dealer didn't even mention it, I had to find it myself on google and called GMC about it, I'm waiting to hear back if it is covered or not by this, can't see why it wouldn't be.

I have a 2014 gmc sierra 1500 5.3L with 230 000 km. I just had my origianal tranny rebuilt for the first time. I had the tourque converter replaced with a billet as well. My truck has been throwing the p0172 and p0175 codes when I let it idle for more than 5- 10min. When I clear the code it doesn't come back until I let it idle again. I thought it was because of putting 93 octane fuel in my truck but after reading this forum I am realizing that it is due to the fuel injectors. I'm going to get a quote for replacing all 8.

Just picked up my truck. Sticking injectors is what they diagnosed.  The sad thing is I had to tell the first dealership to even look at the injectors and their diagnosis of a vacuum leak wasn’t even close.  Second dealership said no it’s not a vacuum leak. They did a direct cleaning of the injectors and said my fuel trims came back within spec but that I had no codes stored.  They then realized by the time I got there the guy that cleaned the injectors cleared the codes after cuz it sets off misfires and what not apparently. I’m too scared to plug my scanner in to check and they said just drive it for now and monitor it. 

 

It definitely has the throttle response back so I feel confident they took care of the issue. Cost was $284. This particular place/mechanic said they’ve seen the injectors go bad and varnish up a lot on early 14’s.  I got to talk to him for 15 min so I feel good about the whole deal. He gave me credit on my 4 page diagnosis/trouble shooting memo I typed up for him tho. That made me feel good. 

 

If I was you I’d go in asking for an injector cleaning and see where that leads you. Don’t clear the codes before you get there tho so they can see if there’s anything else funny going on. 

 

Good luck sir! 

I'm having the same issue with my truck. Did cleaning the injectors fix the issue for good?

I had my high pressure fuel pump replaced and haven't had any issues since.  I've also swapped to E85 for the last 3 1/2 years since its almost always a $1 cheaper in town.

      Trading 7.3 (Godzilla) for G.M.C gas

      By James Beyer · Posted

      Congratulations Isttype, on your gmc. Really like my 2024 2500hd sle doublecab now with 85,500 miles.  I checked the oil today at 4800 miles since last oil change and barely reading on the stick.  I don't care if GM says it's Acceptable adding a quart every 2000 miles because that is 100% BS, It is not a 1966 Harley Shovelhead! Sounds like it's setting up a future failure like I had with my 1500 6.2l. Other than oil consumption problems, I really like the 6.6l gas and 10 speed is really nice.  Towed a light 4000 pound trailer last week and averaged 14 mpg.  I was pretty impressive that a 7300 pound gas truck did 14mpg towing, Later-

      OCI, not when but why?

      Long Term Cold Cycle Limited Testing   Back to the 1990's and XOM's million mile test. Since then there have been others and there will be more. Schaeffer's, AMSOIL to name two. Of these Schaeffer's is the stand alone which I will explain in a bit later.    http://papers.sae.org/600190/:   http://papers.sae.org/850215/:   Up to 75% of  engine wear occurs on cold starts. These two links (above) provide the technical reasons for engine wear. In a nut shell, and by a large margin, cylinder wear is what takes out most motors and even with a pre-oiling system that part of the engine is dry enough on cold starts and cold warm up to pierce Stribeck.   So when you put a motor, or a car, on a dyno for a million miles stopping only for oil changes, (yes fuel is uninterrupted) or break down maintenance, you are depriving the test of the most important part of it's wear cycle. Yes a million is then a pretty easy walk even for a mineral oil under those conditions.    How about cleanliness during the long test cycles? Same thing. Varnishes that stick rings and insulate parts are laid down by repetitive 'heat cycles'. It's the cool down the precipitates the varnishes. These long runs also hinder acidic attack caused by cold start richness and less than optimal cold start ring sealing. They hinder water formation and enhance breathing of the crankcase; the petri dish of acid formation, the first step in sludge formation, amalgamation and precipitation. These motors are also monitored and controlled for water and oil temperatures to within the "normal operating range".      https://www.swri.org/sites/default/files/sequence-iiih-test.pdf Note the test sequence in some boutique oils literature for testing, API IIIH, is not the standard used for the ILSAC G7 testing. Does that mean it is irrelevant? No, not as used. As used as a 'visual guide' it makes it's point. The G7 weighted piston deposit minimum is lower.      Back to Schaeffer's. That was a cyclical test of an engine in fleet service and not a dyno mule and if you saw the video it was not mirror clean but wear was low.    There are oils like BioSyn and other 'Renewable" source oils that taught cleanliness and have proven themselves in fleet testing. Havoline an other example.    The newest ILSAC G-7 test prioritize cleanliness, LSPI mitigation and fuel economy OVER WEAR. In comparison Porsche C30 Specification Verses ILSAC G-7 Specification below:      Some will balk that this graph isn't apples to apples and I will challenge that in that this graph represent the SPECIFICATION and not the any One Oil Performance.   It is absolutely possible to minimize wear, maximize cleanliness and mitigate LSPI etc., It just isn't cheap and currently I see none that are not walking toward profit over performance.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      I don't think you will need a split, separate product, etc., the OBD port should be able to deliver everything you need. Since your device would be plugged into it all the time, it wouldn't miss anything.    Hardware in this case will be the easiest part of your project - ELM 327 devices will already deliver all the data you need. Reporting/software is where your advantage/marketability is.
