Just took out the chip and ran it stock with the same stutter result, then swapped ecu's with the same result also.

Gave it a good rev and the smoke smells funny. Not like a diesel smell, smells like a little oil in the mix?

I would have expected the truck to run noticeably worse after the chip was removed.

Any luck getting those rotational velocity numbers?

Here's what Tom(mndiesel) came up with tonight with AE. No chance to run the rotational velocity test. Mike (Flyin 5)had to leave early.


P0266 Cylinder 2 contribution/balance fault, power cylinder, valve train or injector problem, circuit
P0284 Cylinder 8 contribution/balance fault, power cylinder, valve train or injector problem, circuit

#2 was also Low on the buzz test.

I found the description for the codes on another site.

Thanks you guys for posting up these results, i appreciate it! I hated to run off like that but the situation sounded serious (and somewhat was).


So #2 definitely sounded a bit weak. 2 & 8 are usually cps faulty injectors correct? I'm thinking an ohm check of my cps to the ecu may be needed. However now that 1 is not kicking out on the contribution i'm thinking UVCH since we are on the same bank.

Let me know if Mon or Tues works. I don't mind helping so just let me know what works for you, Osceola is only 45 minutes away and helping gives me something to do. We will have to have a gtg in the next week or two , my front wheel bearings are getting louder!!!
