P0263 And P0281
I have been chasing a slight idle fluctuation for some time now. I ran a contribution test on AE and it comes up with p0263 Cyl 1 injector circuit contribution/ balance fault. And p0281 Cyl 7 injector circuit contribution/balance fault. Where do I need to start looking? Valve cover gaskets? TIA

My 97 also does that, especially when warm at idle. I just ignore it as over the years got tired of trying to figuring it out. On the 99 it's much better but different injectors and PCM coding is different, go figure.
Not a big supporter on the cylinder contribution test results. Seems like almost everyone had issues with the reported result. It doesn't mean it's not a good test for overall engine efficiency though. The fact that you flashed the PCM to 60 HP would probably make the actual test invalid. But that is just a guess on my end.

Yes both cps were new ford. I also have another one coming from riffraff.
I have done some searching about the contribution test on here today and it seams that you are correct about test results not being very reliable. Yep just live with the up and down idle but I sure would like to put my finger on it. Thanks for the info.
