Well if you are getting a code for no cats it is going to screw with your fueling. Maybe not a misfire but it will mess with the fuel

I’m not getting a code for the cats. I’m getting multiple misfire codes. When it misfires, it goes lean on bank one.

Hmmm I am thinking it has got to be a fueling issue on bank one. did you swap injectors? Move all of bank one to bank two? I don't see that you had

I have replaced all 8 injectors. I have moved plugs between the 2 banks as well as coils and no change.

I'd say check with the noid light next. 

I got a wiring diagram for the engine harness. I traced the wires to the o2 sensors and they are all fine. I get good solid ground and power to all of them. Bank 1 sensor 1 is holding stead at 1275. I believe that is my issue that’s throwing it all off between the 2 banks. The sensor is good. I took it for a drive and the sensor started reading about the same as all the others and it was fine and then shot back to 1275 and stayed flat. I’m wondering if I have a leaking exhaust manifold and it’s sucking air, thus making the sensor readings wrong.

A leaking exhaust manifold doesn't suck air. Check your injector harness with a noid light.

 

It stays flat when it is in open loop I believe. Can't remember

Found some leaks. Both sides of the exhaust are leaking where the y pipe bolts to the manifolds. Had the trans rebuilt so the y pipe was removed. Also found the rear most manifold bolt on the passenger side totally backed out.

Well that could cause it. But it would lose air, still cause it to be out of spec though! The fuel for that side would just be up

 

Glad you possibly found the result

It does have some exhaust leaks. Mainly on the passenger side. I removed the computer and used fiber optic wire cleaner and a brush and cleaned all the connections. Now it’s running good. But sensor one is flat lined at 1275.

It can.  I know on my truck, which had 6 broken off bolts when I bought it, the O2 sensors indicated mixture was very lean until I fixed them.

    • Still $3.01 with even more places at this price
    • JW2024 and Others is this site for Oshawa built Trucks as well ? Thank You !
    • Thanks JR that would be great if you could do that !!! Do you have a link to where this was discussed before ? I cant seem to find it  Thank You Again !
    • Oil pump noise was discussed before.  I will try to remember to record a remote start later this morning. 
    • There are probably a few threads talking about fuel mileage but this one seemed to fit the stats I have seen based on my typical local driven route but with different outcomes based on different seasons/temperatures. I have a few hundred pounds of items that consistently ride on the truck at all times such as a bak flip cover, rubber bed mat, tools and extra fuel so I would be something over 8100 lb without me in the truck. All these examples are based on a 100 mile round trip to a town plus running around town so maybe 110 to 120 miles in total for a trip. Using regular fuel and I assume it always has some ethanol in it but don't know the percentage they blend in. Also speed wise I am going at 62 mph and non aggressive driving although less speed yet if its crappy winter condition roads. I am going by an initial reset of the computer generated fuel use numbers averaged over a couple of thousand miles or so for each weather/season so they may be more optimistic then actual hand calculated numbers. Basically this is painting a picture of doing the same drive but seasonal conditions and temperature being the major variable to the end result. Oh and although I am in Alberta Canada, I am converting it to miles per US gallon so there is no confusion.    So winter time it gets cold here, no real surprise there and the roads can be clear at times but also often have packed rough snow or are are driving through loose snow ( they do a poor job of plowing the highways ) and yes this includes the extra idle engine time due to trying not to freeze ones butt off. 12.7 mpg is what I was getting during the winter months on average.    Then during the spring when it was around the freezing point and the highways are clear of snow, I was getting around 14.25 mpg.   Summer time, I have been getting around 15.15 on average but certainly some of the trips showed quite a bit better fuel mileage, so much depended on how much or little I had driven around town and number of engine restarts after sitting for a while at each location. But stating a best fuel mileage trip to town pretending that is what the truck gets on average is fooling ones self for sure !.      As I said in a different post, I had driven a 645 mile trip over a couple of days stint to a different destination then these other daily to town examples above, and was done during the summer with nice weather and not bucking a head wind, also keeping at 62 mph and its a rolling landscape type highway drive ( this isn't southern Alberta or Saskatchewan flat lands ) Hand calculated fuel mileage in this case though and it came out to 17.65
