Just bought a 2001 Suburban 2500 with the 6.0 with 158,000miles!
The guy said he replaced the camshaft and crankshaft position sensors and it needed a crank relearn. I did that with my EFI Live cable.
I still had P0300 after the relearn. And the first crank won't start the truck. Sometimes it backfires on first crank. Always starts on second crank.
I got the idea that it was fuel related since the scanner was showing ltft running in the -12 range.
Replaced filter, fuel pressure test showed 48-50psi at idle and 58psi with the regulator unplugged. The regulator looked brand new and did not leak gas when unplugged. Replaced fuel pump cause the guy gave me a receipt with a recently purchased aftermarket pump listed on the receipt. Replaced with a Delphi.
It did slowly leak down after and hour.
Cleaned the MAF.
Torque graphs show occasional misfires in a couple cylinders on both banks. Must not be enough to trip p0300 but it's there. 5 shows up a little more frequently.
He said he replaced plugs and wires, going to verify that today. The coil packs look brand new.
I pulled the intake cause some of the grommets looked super squished and over tight. Gaskets were new, camshaft position sensor looked new.
Replaced with the metal felpro instead of reusing the plastic felpro gaskets.
I've even added an extra ground from frame to motor in case the one on the cylinder head is weak.
I've noticed that air either sucks in or blows out when I open my gas cap. Which I have never experienced on the last 5 gmt800s I've had.
Is their some sort of weird EVAP thing going on?
As of now I have bank 2 O2 sensor 2 circuit low code.
And a code for misfire in cylinder 5.
Weird thing is it hasn't turned on the check engine light yet but it shows as a fault in Torque.
perhaps a bad injector? Would one injector cause p0300 or just a specific cylinder misfire like my p0305?
I've done a ton of diagnosis and the post is getting long. Let me know what you think and I'll promptly respond to any questions.
