'02 4.6L shows P0174 code running rough (missing)

<TABLE><TBODY><TR><TD vAlign=top width="100%">My '02 4.6 is giving a P0174 code (bank 2 lean)...HISTORY: It all started with it running rough at idle and through acceleration and cruise range and seemed to be worse after a fill-up. When I filled it up with gas this last time, started the truck and it started missing worse afterwards, the service engine light came on. Pulled 1 code (P0308) misfire on #8...replaced plugs and swapped #8 COP with #2 COP and cleared the code. Test drove, still missing (running real rough). Pulled 1 code (P0174) lean on bank 2... the P0308 code is now gone .

My thought is it may be the #8 injector.<O:P< font < O>


Items Tested:<O:P font <>

Spark firing triggers, power (-/+) and resistance at the COP's are good <?XML:NAMESPACE PREFIX = O /><O:P></O:P>

Cleaned MAF sensor (easy and just for grins)
New air filter (easy and just for grins)
Can't find any vacuum leaks

Any thoughts before replacing the #8 injector (80.00 bucks) or taking it to the dealership...(Big $$$$$$$$)

Maybe try some Seafoam or the lucas fuel treatment. If the injector isnt too bad that might fix it.

Check the PCV hose elbows for cracks. These are known to get soft and crack causing a vacuum leak and lean codes.

Do you have the factory service manual on CD for 2002?
If so ... The PCM (power train control module) section
contains pinpoint tests for isolating the lean-Bank...

How many miles....

I had this same problem....
But mine is a high mileage engine...

Check you hot o2 sensor (the one closet to the manifold...
You have a code reader can it read PIDs?
