I'm afraid I could not see anything in those files you had on google drive - they came through as a bunch of symbols. I was hoping for text that I could format. Must be a proprietary format from the CTS3? If there's a way to export to CSV or text, that would be great. Otherwise, we'll go with the screen shots or videos of the CTS3 screen.

I don't think a weak HPOP would cause a miss. You could still trace the wires as mentioned earlier, and it would be good to get a perdel reading. Worth a few bucks to get your current phone or laptop set up with FORScan to do this and the buzz test.

Are those AC injectors you have from Unlimited Diesel remanufactured or new? About how many miles on them before you noticed the miss/vibration?

Before owning a tablet, I used an old Android phone that didn't have a cellular plan attached to it as a dedicated TP/FORScan device. You may or may not be interested in that sort of thing, but I wanted you to be aware of your options.
Yes I am aware of that. Its just the purchased version I had was on an old google account and I couldn't recover it to verify that I had bought the app. Anyway I got it all going again on the phone and working again. But I can not get my phone to connect to my truck. The CTS3 works fine and I also plugged the android into other vehicles and it works fine and can read the vehicle. I have used the same setup on the truck before and it used to work great but it just won't connect whether I try to use Forscan or Torquepro.

Im running a mac but edge has a log viewer you can download to view the file if your running windows. https://www.edgeproducts.com/software_updates/
Im having a hard time getting my phone to connect to my truck. Im not sure why its giving me issues but I cant get it to connect. I also apparently just lost my batteries over the last couple days in the truck as they wont stay up after leaving the key on for more than 2 minutes......

Check the fuse for power port/cigarette lighter. The obd port is on the same circuit and it's not uncommon to pop the 10 amp fuse especially if you use it for something like an inverter or one of those tire inflator compressors.

Just read the last post about a major battery drain. You probably want to run that down ASAP. Something pulling that much current has got to be making some serious heat. Like enough to catch the truck on fire kind of heat. I'd start at the glow plug relay myself. The intake heater is a good suspect too if you've still got one.

Thank you for pointing me to the dataviewer for the CTS3. Here are screenshots for the two logs you provided. Looks like a healthy HPO system.

Jelibuilt tune run:





1023 tune run:




This dataviewer is well done. I just picked 6 PIDs to view, to keep clutter down, but you can adjust scales and colors, pick gauges along the bottom to highlight specific data points. Looks like it lets you export the data to CSV as well, but no need as this app gets the job done.

I picked a datapoint for the gauges to display, moving the provided vertical bar to an interesting point. Both tunes command over 4ms fuel pulse width, even for single shots, and yet ICP is keeping up. I didn't think singles needed pw that high. IPR% is climbing and might have peaked higher if loaded with the 1023 tune. IPR% leveled out at 50% with the jeli tune.

I checked pedal position on both logs, and you had the pedal down hard in both runs, yet mass fuel desired peaked lower on the jeli tune at 75 (also typical for PHP tunes), while 1023 put it near 100. I'm guessing the pedal feel is different between the two tunes.

No concerns with your HPOP, IPR valve and ICP sensor based on this data.

Ive tracked it down recently to the edge mainly drawing power. But this was topped my batteries off to fully charged, left the key on for 2-5 minutes to get the android to connect and then it didn't have enough power to crank over and start. As for the android not connecting, the cigarette lighters have power, there are no blown fuses after I went through each one. The light on my obd connecter lights up and shows the lights try to connect a couple times and my edge CTS3 works fine.

Thanks for looking into this for me and thinking it's not the HPOP. What do you think it could possibly be then? Probably an injector or two? Probably 2 and 7 since they through codes more than likely?
Pedal feel is definitely different between the 2 tunes, the jelibuilt has considerable more power and more throttle response(Will pull hills in 4th vs the 1023 tune doing it in 3rd). The jelibuilt will also put out some smoke until the turbo clears it out once it spools up where the 1023 doesn't smoke at all.

I'll see if I can hook it up to a trailer and log the data to see if the miss will show up at all and try and see if my friend can stick it on his good scanner and run some tests.

Yeah, assuming no blowby/compression issues on #2 and #7, fuel and oil are doing their job, and electrical appears good with no IDM codes, so it's down to the individual injectors. If you are able to duplicate the miss, some folks swap holes with the suspect injector - see if the miss follows it.

Ok maybe I will try swapping injectors sometime if I can't get anything else to connect to the truck. Found a similar issue where someones IDM was the culprit in not allowing a scanner to connect. Ill talk to Unlimited and see what they think also. Injectors only have a couple thousand miles on them. The miss has gotten more noticeable as time goes on....There also isnt any blowby when I takethe cap off either.

Well it randomly just started to work. This is the result after contribution test. I’m assuming it’s good if it didn’t return anything. I’ll upload the videos of the pirdels and buzz test

These tests are good to have in your pocket now. Nice strong buzz test. That lines up with the rig running ok at idle or low power settings, right? The low power/miss has been occurring at higher loads that these tests may not see. Confirming no codes after the buzz test?

What is that clicking sound every 3 seconds or so that I hear in the background of your PERDEL test?

Truck has a smooth idle from the sound.
