Cylinder Balance Test question

I used my code reader to run a cylinder balance test a couple of years ago with success but having trouble with it now. KOEO and KOER are both code 111. Running KOER again, after the codes finish reading, I lightly press the accelerator 1/4 down and release but it does not go into cylinder balance test.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

No luck.

I tried to get the computer to go into cylinder balance test mode again Sunday. Still 111 Pass in KOEO, CM, KOER works fine.

I wait until KOER reading is through and press the gas gently. After a couple of minutes the rpm changes once and no cylinder balance codes nor 90 pass. Any ideas?

Help would be appreciated.

Sorry, still can't make it work. Again, ran KOER. About 20 seconds after codes finished I pressed gas half way down and released.

Nothing, five minutes later.

I hate to sound like a squeeky wheel that needs grease. Someone will stop by eventually.

I tried waiting 20 seconds ater KOER codes finished then punched it to WOT this time, still nothing.

#2 and #8 plugs have some carbon but the other six looked great. Still have a miss at 1700 rpm light throttle and was trying to see if the problem was injector on 2 and 8 or ignition.

Any tips on running cylinder balance test would be appreciated.
