Yeah , you need to do a buzz test to get the code stored in the IDM ..

There is a cheap test for the UVCH .. When its running bad & the light is on , unplug the valve cover plugs one at a time . one will make no difference in the way it runs . That will be the bad one . There is also a chance you have a bad injector solenoid .. One bad one & the IDM will shut down the entire bank .. Usually it will run well for about 7 seconds then go into limp ..

It still wouldn't run after a sec or two. So I pushed the gas peddle all the way to the floor, after a few secs the rpm gauge started to climb and I thought I felt it smoothing out, then I'm starting to think, maybe there is just trash in a fuel line. But I put it in gear and I have no power, it just kinda limps backwards. I let off the gas and it'll idle but rough.

So while it is idling I get out and pull the plugs on the valve cover. Both of them on the passenger side make no difference in the way it runs. Both of the ones on the driver side kill the truck.

I get the truck off the side of the road and into the driveway so I can work on it better. I pull the codes and these are the ones it gives me.

P0113: Intake Air Temperature Circuit High Input

P0500: Vehicle Speed Sensor Malfunction

P0603: Internal Control Module Keep Alive Memory (KAM) Error

Now what do I do?

My dad came by and we were looking at it. He said let me show you something. Pulled the oil fill cap and boom burnt electrical small. Ran to the parts house picked a valve cover casket came home pulled the cover and sure enough the front half of the rear connector was roasted. Threw the new one on and fired her right up.

She's back to purring like a kitten now.

I noticed that none of those codes had anything to do with the like of that issue. Should I be worried about any of them?

Thanks everyone.
