Do you still have the maf sensor code? If so, unplug it, see if it runs any better.

I see, check for vacuum leaks around the throttle-body and intake manifold. What about your plug wires? Run the vehicle in the dark, raise the hood, do you see arch running anywhere? I'm not sure of engine litre size?

First off it's 5.3, When I was coming back from up north from hunting it ran fine over 250mi. No issue's. Then it started to run bad after stopping at stop light. You know what else I already did, the throttle body was replaced last year. So now i.M leaning towards a vacume leak or pcm? Thanks for your help on this issue. (:

So here I am in cold garage, sprayed carb cleaner all around intake no change at all. Re-scan again get code for map sensor so replace it same thing! Po106, while it's sorta running pul coil connectors and #1-2-3-4-5 are dead no change in running so swap coil pack from a good hole and still dead! So are we looking at pcm or other area?

Did you check for primary voltage at the ignition coil? Pink wire goes hot with the key on.

Use an led testlite between voltage and control wire, crank engine, is there a pulse? Check the grounds, also.

Could be a computer issue,but, if a coil or something caused computer to go bad, you have to fix it before installing a new computer.

Use an led testlite between voltage and control, crank, is there a pulse? Probably not the best way to test. Do you have a digital multimeter with a min/max setting?

Could be computer issue, but, if something caused the computer to go bad, you have to fix that first, or the new computer may be effected.

Just out of curiosity, unplug the o2 sensor on the drivers side and see if it changes how the motor runs.

So got better scanner now #1 & #3 have mise fire, shows lean or - fuel trim on #1 and #2 bank disconnect bank 1 sensor 2 with no change at all, check spark on # which is good and also check for pulse on injectors which are good, seems like it's dumping fuel into them two clyinders on idle but when I pick up rpm's still runs bad but not as badwith lot of raw gas coming out. I'M VERY CLOSE CLOSE TO TAKING IT TO CHEVY GARAGE TO FIND OUT WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON!

So JDL is there any way to test a pcm? Any thing short of taken to a dealer, some one suggested the crank sensor but i'm thinking it would not run at all because if it does not pick up #1 cyl it would not cycle the firing for the other cyl? I sure don't wont to keep trowing parts at it to see if thats the problem thanks again real stumper!

So today I spent some time with it, did compression test and have 180psi in #1 and #3 replaced the fuel injectors on bank 1 no change. Put a vacume gauge to pvc line has vacume but gauge is bounching around. Check with scanner and tp sensor shows nothing or should I say no change with throttle, this was replaced 2yrs. Ago, I don't know if there was an issue with the intake or the gaskets on the 5.3 was thinking egr valve don't think it has one or I could not find it as check for it. There was a bullitin for misfire cause by bad ground but where it say's the ground is not there ie right front of head.
