UVCH - P1316 - OHM Test
Good afternoon guys - we are having a great weather day in central KY, hope you are where you live.
I checked both connectors on the valve covers and found no problems. Both were in the range that I have seen in previous posts.
I started the truck after wards and let it run until it was warmed up - no issue. I took it out for a spin down the road - no issue. I shut it off when I got back and the P1316 is gone.
I didn't do anything intentionally. I did take the drivers side valve cover off because I was having trouble reading that connector. Everything looked good under there. Didn't tear down the passenger side because it was a bear the last time I did it.
While I am happy it seems to be running fine now, I am nervous it may show up when I am not close to home. I would sure like some assurance it won't pop up on the road somewhere. It does not run well at all when it does run bad.
What do you guys think? I don't mind putting some money into it for peace of mind, but don't want to throw money at it when I don't know what it is. I would like to drive it on a trip to North and Central Texas in three weeks. It's a long ride from here - wouldn't want it to lay down on me somewhere.
On a side note - I have a Superchips tuner that I bumped the truck up to tow safe about 4 years ago. Has anyone had any issue with the trucks that have bumped up the power? I don't pull anything, so I could take it back to stock, but it sure runs better in tow safe.
Thanks for the tips.

Did you just check the pass thru connector at the valve cover harness, of did you also check where the wires plug into each injector as Dan suggested? I somehow knocked one of the injector plugs loose on my wife's truck putting her valve covers back on. Did you inspect the pins on the pass thru connector to make sure none looked burnt or bent?
I'd carry an ohm meter around with me, and if the problem happens again, take the ohm readings while the problem is occurring. That will tell you which side or injector is having the issue.
