Recently I had my lifters collapse and i brought it to a shop and they put a new motor in it with the AFM/Dod delete. Ever since I’ve had a check engine light for P219A P219B PO300 that I can’t figure out. It drives fine but at idle it has a rough shake. The truck has new coils,wires,plugs. New injectors New 02 sensors New high pressure fuel pump. New exhaust manifold gaskets. I cleaned the maf sensor and throttle body. I sprayed brake clean around the intake gaskets and there was no change in idle. I did a compression test and cylinders 1,4,6,7 have 180 psi and 2,3,5,8 have 210 is this normal? Any information helps.

why are you not driving back to the shop to get it working right?  this shouldn't be on you at all (other than perhaps if you bought the engine, drove there and just paid them to put it in, then you tuned it yourself or something like that).

 

anyway, I can only suggest working through the diagnostic procedures for those codes, found on alldata.com (needs subscription).

I have brought it back to them multiple times each time they can’t figure it out or they tell me it’s fixed but when I pick it up it’s still not fixed. I picked it up without check engine light (still running rough) and 5 miles down the road it comes back on. The last time they looked at it they said that the issue was the 02 sensors were not OE so I brought it to a dealer to put OE 02 sensor in it and they said my 02 sensors are fine and the dealer wrote 

scanned codes and it has codes for p219a and p219b fuel trim cylinder balance both banks, watching misfires it is misfiring on cylinders 1,4,6,7 which are all AFM cylinders, looked at AFM data and everything is reading malfunction which is what is disabling the injectors for 1,4,6,7 causing the cylinder balance codes, customer stated the truck has an afm delete kit, either there is a problem with the delete kit or the tuning because the delete kit is causing the injectors to shut off. i brought this up to the shop that did the motor and they said they don’t know how this is possible. I had a tuner come out to confirm the tuning was correct and it is. Sorry for the small text I’m not sure how that happened.

Do you have 4 OEM oxygen sensors installed?  GM vehicles DO NOT like ANY aftermarket O2 sensors.  Needs to be OEM only.  Don't even use ones that say they are the OE sensor.  Needs to be the genuine GM OEM ones.  Seen way too many issues with this.  One of the leading causes of P219A and P219B is aftermarket oxygen sensors pre catalyst.  

 

Also.  What fuel injectors were installed?  GM OEM?  Aftermarket?  All all 8 injectors matching spec and p/n?

No the genuine gm oem are not in it. They were TRQ OSA61839. And the injectors I got from advanced auto brand car quest. The shop was concerned about that and replaced the injector on the cylinder that was showing misfire with an oem one and there was no change. I realize now after putting the parts in that I should have went oem.

Do you recommend me getting Acdelco 02 sensors or what sensor do you recommend?

As I already pointed out in my original reply...OEM and OEM ONLY for the oxygen sensors.  

 

Install 4 original equipment oxygen sensors, and then see where it ends up from there.  

 

Get them at the dealer, a local ACDelco store, or from GM's official parts portal - Shop GM Genuine Parts & ACDelco Parts | GM Parts Store

 

eBay and Amazon will often have parts that "look" the part (no pun intended) but are often counterfeit.

Gosh is this certainly true. I've wasted a bit of time with aftermarket sensors causing repeat and new o2-related DTCs. I've had multiple Denso sensors cause faults. The worst part is some of the GM sensors are made by Denso, but I guess the quality control varies between their own and contract parts.

      This video may not be the exact content for the joke thread but its a lot of laughs so here it is, I've only watched a portion of it so far but if anyone is looking for some light hearted good soap box driving action, its here. As a note in the upper left of the screen it shows the number out of 100 to refer back to any particular vehicle for comment !.    https://www.facebook.com/reel/1351928276956715

      2023 DRW Wheel Liners

      Did have to make 1 modification because of the WeatherTech rear mud flaps and that was needing 3 longer screws than what came with the install package. 😄

      Picked up the liners yesterday. Installed passenger side WITHOUT any modifications. All mounting holes lined up perfectly. Rain is interfering today with drivers side. Very Happy! Will add pics when finished

      OCI, not when but why?

      By KARNUT · Posted

      As a matter of amusement I’ll leave this conversation with this. Do you beat the government average fuel estimate? Statistics are a guide to me. Not a rule. Someone once said I have to have the last word. If true and possible may be. I’ll blame that on working in a family business.

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

      By bluev8 · Posted

      That is a fair point, and I agree that trying to log “everything in the truck” would be the wrong direction.   There are a lot of modules and a lot of traffic. If the product became a full-truck datalogger, the amount of data would get huge very quickly, and most owners would never use it.   I think the first useful version would need to be narrow: - powertrain-side event evidence - selected high-value parameters - communication / voltage / reset events - pre/post event window - short report first, raw log only as backup   One distinction I should make is between active OBD/PID polling and passive bus capture. If you are polling PIDs through OBD, then yes: the more parameters you request, the lower the effective sample rate becomes, and you are adding diagnostic traffic to a vehicle that is already busy running itself. With passive CAN capture, the recorder is not asking all the modules for data. It is listening to traffic that is already on the bus. So it does not consume vehicle bus bandwidth in the same way that a scan tool polling hundreds of PIDs would. But your point still applies in a different way.   Even if passive capture does not add bus traffic, the recorder still has limits: - processing rate - storage rate - timestamp accuracy - decoder workload - event filtering - report size - user attention span   So the answer cannot be “log everything and let the user figure it out.” The product would need to store enough raw evidence to be useful, but only decode, graph, and present the important parts around the event.   A practical report should probably show: - what triggered the capture - how much pre/post data was preserved - which selected parameters changed - how those values compared to baseline - whether the same pattern happened before - whether any voltage, reset, bus-off, lost-message, or communication fault occurred - selected graphs around the event - raw data only as supporting evidence   So I agree with you. More data is not automatically better. The real product is the reduction from raw data into a useful event report.
