6.0 Savana With P0300


Recommended Posts

Posted

have a 03 savana with a 6.0 auto. 2wd. has a p0300. misses most on bank 2. #6 seems to miss the most once it starts acting up. it's had plugs, wires, I believe it had a fuel filter recently. intake gaskets about two years ago. fuel pressure is around 55psi, seems fine. I've cleaned the injectors already, and it's coil near plug. no egr. the miss comes and goes. ses flashes once it's bad enough. all scan tool data looks fine. the long and short term fuel trim goes out the window when it starts happening. o2 starts reading stupid rich and the fuel trims go max into the negative to try and lean it out. thats when it leans all bank2 out to the point of missing on all cylinders on bank2. at this point I had swapped o2s side to side to make sure the o2 wasn't causing it to go lean,then it ran fine again.could not get it to act up again. now the miss is back.

 

any ideas? what the hell am I missing? I've heard of ac leaking onto the o2 and messing with it? but bank 2 sensor 1 connector is on top of the passenger frame rail slightly behind the firewall.

How about swapping all the fuel injectors...

from bank 1 to bank 2

and all bank 2 to bank 1?

 

Then see if the problem moves?

 

If the problem moves, then you know it is a problem with a fuel injector.

 

If the problem does not move, then you know it is not a problem with a fuel injector!

    • Thanks; I looked there a few minutes, and I think I can find something. I really never looked there, as I thought it was stuff like PTO/aftermarket bodies/accessories like snow plows.
    • This is a 1/2 ton thing ONLY.  All HDs 2020-2026 have the two speed transfer case, with Autotrac as an option.     1/2 tons 2019-2026, regular 4x4s come with a single speed case (no 4LO!), and trucks with Z71 ordered, or all Trail Boss trucks come with the 2 speed case.  2 speed case is also an option on WT, and is also standard on High Country.  
    • 2013 5.3 still to this day calls for the PF48 filter.  Which as a 15psi bypass pressure.     There is a TSB, 17-NA-157 that talks about the PF-63 and PF-64 filters which have a higher bypass rating of 22psi.    TSB HERE - temp.xml   "Beginning in 2012, the oil pumps began to regulate main gallery feedback instead of pump out pressure. This means that the oil pump now does not begin to regulate until pressure is built up to the main gallery. This change reduces the amount of time it takes to provide oil to the engine bearing and lifters during extreme cold start conditions.  Main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are present on the following engine families which use Spin-on oil filters: Small Gas Engine (SGE), Large Gas Engine (LGE), High Feature (HFV6) Gen2 and Small Block Gen5 gasoline engines. These engines with the main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are factory built with an ACDelco® oil filters"   It also calls out what engines use those filters.  The gen 4 small blocks were not on that list (LMG, LC9, L9H, L92, L94, L20, L96).  Gen 5 small blocks use the higher pressure filter.          That all said...   Your 7045 Napa filter is the PF63 equivalent, with 22psi bypass.  You are already using the higher bypass pressure filter.  You CAN keep using it, you don't technically have to use it though.  
    • Do you know WHY the filter relief setting was increased to 22 psig?    When the new system goes into the second stage the pump volume ramps up considerably. It was found that the 15 psi filter bypass setting put the filter in bypass on a warm engine when the second stage was activated. Raising the filter bypass setting forced the filter to do what it designed to do. Filter. Preventing debris from circulating during high load, high rpm operation.    So next question is how did GM find this out? VLOM/lifter failures and a deep dive by Melling Corp.    Last question. Is it required? Look at it like this; a motor may be equipped with a rev limiter. But it only works if the set point in reached. That 22 psig setting only matters if the pressure differential across the filter media exceeds 15 psig during normal warm operation. Second stage kicks in around 3000-3500 rpm.    I can't answer your question because I don't know you and how you use the truck. But I think there is enough information here to let you decide for yourself. 😉
