Back story- 2014 silverado 4.3l v6 60,000 miles. Devloped a misfire waiting in line to get oil changed took to part store and they told me that I had a misfire on cylinder 2. Changed plugs and wires on all 6 cylinders and still had misfire. Took back to parts store and because the check engine light was on and they told me fuel injectors so changed all if the injectors and intake gaskets. still have misfire, had compression check and it was good also done fuel pressure check and getting good fuel pressure. I'm not really sure what to do next the only option left on the ignition system is to change the coils, but don't wanna waste $ if I don't have to.

Really wasn't sure what to do next so I just bought all 6 coil packs and changed them. drove it around and the misfire would happen intermittent and service engine light would come on and a few times the traction control light came on as well. Beginning to wonder if it's an issue with the active fuel management?

Post your fuel pressure readings. Also since you're doing everything else it seems, clean throttle body and MAF

Cleaned throttle body and maf sensor. now the coolant fans are running constant, not sure if they are related. No engine light but still a small hiccup when idling. Drove a few minutes drives good but the fans are running. Engine is running Normal temperatue also.

You don't remember the FP readings? Need to check them against the recommended spec.

 

So engine is running now with no miss? Or it just hasn't had time to show up? Did you disconnect battery while doing cleaning and use the proper cleaning agent?

Wrong plugs, or go overboard with antiseize?

 

If the CEL was on, the DME has stored trouble codes.  What are they?

      Gas Prices

      Can ask that about a lot of places.   Holiday sells 91 for $1 over 87 octane. BP 93 is 80 cents. Amoco 93 is 80 cents Kwik Trips is $1.20 for 92 or whatever they have and $1 for the 91.   I know that this is not exactly same as what you are saying with the premium to premium debate of those two stations but why is there such a difference. Top Tier this and that, it's all BS. All the fuel comes from the same damn refinery, so give me a break.

      Why does Mobil Premium cost 90 cents a gallon more than Shell Premium when their regular offerings are but pennies apart?

      Was all the way down to $3.69 a gallon but then jumped back to $3.99 just because for some reason.   Diesel floats between $4.80's to $5.10ish a gallon. I even saw Diesel #1 for $6.09 today but nobody in there right mind even buys that in the summer.

      OTA updates and radio still cuts out

      Mine just keeps lagging or getting stuck on the reverse camera. When I turn off the truck, get out, and close the door it will still stay on. It’s very intermittent and I would not be able to duplicate the issue.

      Gas Prices

      I was checking out fuel prices at my farm fuel retailer at their pumps and yes the farm price is a bit lower than the non dyed fuel and was glad to see that the regular farm gas price has dropped a lot from what it had been but what blew me away was the price of diesel as the spread now compared to before the prices went up earlier in the year, diesel was actually slightly lower than gas which was a switch from the theme the last number of years. However that sure isn't the theme lately and definitely not right now. The prices I will post are not from that retailer but just looking at gasbuddy for the main city in this area and instead of posting the lowest price someone found I will list the higher price ( and that may not be the highest price, just whatever someone posted on gasbuddy ).   So regular gas and there are a lot of stations listing the same price for regular is 1.68 a liter, premium 2.00 a liter. Diesel 2.03 a liter for a top price I saw on diesel.   Figures out to 6.36 a us gallon Canadian funds for regular and 7.68 for diesel. With the US exchange rate it would be 4.58 us for regular and 5.53 for diesel.    Thought I would figure that out to get a picture of what it settles out like compared to various US prices and its about the same as the current price in Fairbanks AK as Anchorage tends to be lower. So yes, these would be the prices and higher along the way on the Alaska highway where they know they have a captured market !, for fuel prices for those beginning the long drive back to the lower 48   The problem is our Canadian dollar and going to the states that have the high prices, boy do we pay then !
