have been to the dealer 3 times for service engine light.

for codes p0300 and p0200 and p0442.

 

service done. can you tell me if any of these services are related to the codes.

 

1st- flushed injectors, throttle body cleaning, gas additive, gas filter and air filter

 

2nd visit- replaced intake manifold

 

3rd visit- run engine with top engine cleaner and vent solenoid and bracket

 

problem still exist. service engine light came back on 2 days later after last visit on the way down south 400 miles after service. engine felt like it was running on half a engine when driving at low rpms. (in traffic) on 1/4 tank. pulled over filled tank up and got back on highway. got out of traffic and engine light would start flashing again between 60-80mph. after an hour of driving at same speed light stopped flashing and was steady but car was running better. next mornin on the way to dealer light cut off complety no signs. dealer said fuel injection control unit code came up and then misfire code came up. any ideas what to check.

Year? Model? Engine?

 

P0200 is an injector circuit fault, which could certainly result in the P0300. I would want to see the misfire history counts to narrow it down a little bit as to which cylinder is at fault. If it'd misfire with the scanner connected, that'd be a bonus. The P0200 is an electrical failure that no amount of injector cleaning will fix.

 

The P0442 is a small leak detected in the supply side (tank, cap, evap hoses, etc.) and is unrelated to the other two DTC's.

 

The flashing service engine soon light means STOP NOW. Continuing to drive with the light flashing can result in toasting the catalytic converter.

i could tell you it started in the winter. when it was below 32 degrees the engine would run really rough with a steady ses light. occasionally flashing. sometimes it would cut off. seems like when temp ambient temp was above 32f it would run fine. after first service for ses light, steady light came back on the same night when the temp reached below or around 32 that night. brought it back and then they changed the intake manifold, which kinda of made sense because car was in accident and i remember where the top screw for vortex plastic cover plate sits was slightly cracked. may have been a leak. but problem still exist and now it has happened regardless of outdoor temp. light has been off since saturday. drove from south carolina to ny no problem yet. but im sure its just waiting.

 

if circuit is at fault would that be a wire inspection from injector to injector. or continuity test.

 

thanks for help

 

and by the way the p0200 code i am just finding out about. the dealer only told me about the misfire code which i think is a result of something else which they didnt tell me. just found out about the p0200 code at another dealer in south carolina . got a diagnostic.

p0200 could be a wiring problem, an individual injector problem, or even the PCM itself (though unlikely). If the issue doesn't exist at the time you're checking the various components, you're probably just going to be guessing.

      OEM Trailer Hitch Receiver - Impact tightened by shop

      Great info to have, I printed out what you had in your document as well as Newdudes post as I could see this mistake with the hardware happening very often if not realizing what type of special bolts are being used and just guess on bolt size for torque or the good enough "easy" method as per whack in the used bolts with an impact and send it !.

      Auto start stop disable

      By dennismc · Posted

      I installed the Auto stop eliminator on my 21 Sierra SLT shortly after I got it. They have a detailed video instruction on how, took me about 20-30 minutes to do. I was apprehensive too to start tearing apart a new truck but it was pretty easy install. Like you mentioned get some trim tools. I went to Harbor freight and picked up a set. If you can find some install videos/instructions to give you and idea for a plan of attack you should be fine.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      If all oil manufacturers had to meet a higher standard for not just the initial filtering of the oil but that they had to improve on their formulation so that the oil cleaned the engine such as the Valvoline R&P or the new Mobil product ( assuming it works similar of course ), and the oil was changed on an interval based on good UOA data, there shouldn't be any gremlins running around like miniture rats on top of your heads to be washed down into the oil pan below 😁

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      A while back on another thread there were comments and thoughts on air filters and I know that can tend to be a bit of a hot topic because of outfits that have a vested interest in selling aftermarket air boxes fitted with the gauze type of oiled elements touting the lower air restriction. However and unfortunately I don't know where I have seen the test results in the past about the amount of dirt through a test procedure that these style of filters do pass more dirt through than a properly designed ( not some cheap Chinese knock off ) paper/synesthetic media filter can do. Lake Speed had a conversation on that topic with one of the employees at Donaldson and there seemed to be a consensus of these oiled filters falling short in the absolute percentage of dirt holdback.    Which all ties back into how good the air filter is on the engine at keeping dirt out as that is going to reflect as a contaminant introduced into the oil as well as cylinder wear even if some of that dirt does find its way out of the exhaust rather then the crank case. Put another way that one can throw the kitchen sink at filtering the oil and using a bypass system which I fully expect will do nothing but good for the oils contamination but if the air filter system isn't doing its job then its preventing the engine from reaching the best wear/lasting case scenario instead.    Now perhaps this topic is or isn't for this particular thread but Grumpy Bear or anyone else for that matter, do you have access to some scientific trust worthy testing on engine air filter types to get some proper comparison data to post up.
