was driving home and all of a suddon no power didn't sound right check engine light came on and started to sputter this is the codes that came up got home read with AE and these asre the codes that it spit out

P1140 Water in fuel
p1316 Injector driver module codes detected
p1247 turbo bust pressure low
p0541 intake air heater circut low


tired to do key on engine off and it told me

p1294 injector high side open bank 2

cleared all codes and retested 2 codes came back p1316 ,p0541

tired to do cylinder contribution test would not retest due to two codes


P 1464 A/C demand out of self test range
P0541 Intake air heater circut low

Would not do KOER test either due to the same two codes

after clearing codes check engine light comes on as soon as it starts can not not clear code while engine is running

at an idle

exhuast back pressure 16.25
engine RPM 654.2
Injector control pressure - volts 0.80

I suggest you pull the passenger side valve cover and plug the harness back in. Then see if it runs better and try to clear the codes.

Yes, there are 9 buzzes. The first buzz is all 8 injectors hard. Then 8 more buzzes, each with 1 injector hard and the remaining 7 injectors soft.

Edit: See post #6. Bank 2 is Drivers side, which is the valve cover harness to check instead of Passenger Side like I first suggested...(Oops)

One of the codes said high side open on Bank 2 which is the passenger side.

Yes, the $0.50 mod will prevent the harnesses working loose.
Your symptoms indicate a loose harness under the valve cover as a prime suspect. It is free to check so that is why I was suggesting you look there first.

Hope this helps...

Apologies...
My error. Bank 2 is the drivers side on these engines.

I was using AE to trouble shoot an O2 sensor issue on my LT1 and bank 2 on that engine is the right side. I knew I would get myself confused one of these days....

Put your head between the speakers to hear this in stereo. This is how the buzz test is supposed to sound.
