injector controbution/balance
Hi everyone. I recently replaced objectors #4 and about a month later I get a code #4 cotrobution/balance. I have this code on cylinders 5,7 and 8 as well. #8 and #4 don't always come up but #5 & #7 are consistent even after I clear the codes. The truck runs great cold but when it warms up it runs like complete ****. Can I get some ideas and ways to figure our whats wrong. My code reader only reads codes can't us it to do any testing.

Start by checking your FICM plug-ins, wiring harness, and voltages. Also make sure that the ground wire from the FICM harnesses is grounded.

I replace the injector harness, ICP, IPR, MAP sensor, EGR delete. It's been a problem for awhile.

Where would the ground wire be for the ficm? I have had it out several times and never seen a ground.

It's part of the FICM harness and usually bolts to one of the stud bolts for the intake manifold--the very back one on the drivers side.

FMP runs from 44.5 to 47 volts on cold start at 74 degrees for 5 minuets or more then slowly climbs and runs from 45 to 48.5 volts. FLP & FVP run 13 to
13.5 volts. I get 13.8 to 14.0 out of alternaters. The FICM is grounded.

FMP is below the acceptable voltage. You need to repair the FICM.

Are you sure on the tranny? They are pretty darn reliable up to 450 hp or so (stock).
Ed at FICMRepair.com will fix you up on your FICM for $195 - $325 depending on the warranty you want.

I'm over 450hp a per the torque app. In reverse it slips and it slips and then shifts real hard into 3rd and for some reason my trans fluid is burnt.
