Chevy Fuel Trim Imbalance Codes
Рет қаралды 95,518
Ай бұрынIn this video I bring you along as I have a look at a customer's 2013 Chevy Silverado with the big 5.3 that has codes P219B and P219A. These are fuel trim imbalance codes (cylinder to cylinder fuel imbalance.) These codes can be really tricky to point at something tangible and make a call on a faulty part. In this video I discuss some of things I look for on these vehicles when faced with these codes.
-Enjoy!

No engine light, drive cycle complete, passed emissions inspection and fuel mileage back to what it should be.

Having an algorithm or checklist prevents the dreaded callback that ends up throwing mud at bystanders. Even in the DIY setting sometimes you want to just fix it and move on with the day.

@LuckyBaldwin777 Ай бұрын
I've learned something about lean codes. Once you're sure there are no vacuum leaks downstream from the MAF, the only other place unmetered air can get into the system is leaking past the intake guides. A vacuum gage can verify that for you. K-Line makes bronze valve guide liners and tooling. I've had good luck with them. A company called Neway makes carbide valve seat and valve face cutters and tooling. I've had good luck with them, too. I've had to start doing my own valve jobs since the quality of machine shop work around here has slid into the toilet. Good luck, man.

I got O2 sensors online ONCE, they were so different I didn't even attempt to install them. The originals had different wiring and clip, I ordered GM OEM and the box said GM so I contacted the "well known" company about my problem and they tried to tell me those were "original OEM" when I pushed back and said I have pics of both they refunded the $ and told me to keep the ones they sent me. Like I said, this was a well known online parts company, I gave them the worst review I could without the salty language. I got the replacement OEM sensors at Advanced at a comparable price so "brick and mortar store everytime!!! Thanks for your insight, I love your show. Lifelong wrench turner ✌️😎 PS. I also ordered a trans line OEM GM and got a Dorman that kept leaking at the trans side, same results. Needless to say they don't get my business. 😎

I know what you mean about gasoline stations. In the 70's 80's and 90's (before a thousand computers per car) my brother was a Toyota Mechanic in the Pittsburgh area, he saw a lot of cars (Toyota, GM, Ford, and Chrysler) that ran like crap if the customer had used Gulf gasoline. They would run rough or ping, or not have the power they used to have. He told them to fill it with a tank or two of Premium and magically the problem resolved itself. I have used a LOT of gas in 70 years, but have never used a drop of Gulf because of that

All that talk of top tier fuel, then that ONE gas station that would mess with a guy's truck... I had a '66 Thunderbird. It would only run right on Exxon, Texaco or Diamond Shamrock gas (back in the day, old people unite or something...) If you fed it anything else, it would stall on some turns. If you fed it Shell specifically, it would run like crap and stall out on *every* turn. The only thing changing the operations of the car was the gasoline, I never had the carb tuned or changed in anyway. Learned to just get Exxon mostly and it was happy, so I was happy. So... there ya go. My contribution to the 'where ya get your gas matters' conversation I suppose. :) Thanks for all you do showing us how to work on cars, Eric!

LIKED this video. Enjoy hearing your thinking. You made it very clear why this approach is the most time/cost effective one for this problem. What Eric Said: "Injectors good, leave them. Airbox broke, lowest cost fix = used. O2 sensors sluggish, replace. Air filter new, reuse. Rule out gas in oil by doing oil change. Mass airflow is reading high, clean and reuse." What the customer heard "Eric won't fix my truck unless I do a lot of unrelated work like an oil change and new O2 sensors and cleaning stuff that has nothing to do with my problem"
@Troy_Built Ай бұрын
Sometimes it is also many small problems adding up and that is hard to explain to a customer. I have this car that came in with a check engine light, cold misfire and fuel trim of 44. The cleaning of the MAF, cleaning throttle body and new throttle body mounting gasket got it down to 18. Then the intake manifold gasket it got it down to 12. That's pretty difficult to explain to the customer that they still have a problem but it's a small one now and not totally fixed after you have done that much stuff. It sounds like I was just shotgunning parts at it.
@-tr0n Ай бұрын
@@Troy_Built There's a difference between firing the parts cannon and replacing hot button parts that are known to cause issues even when not failed. I like to replace the cummins intake/egr sensors every year or two as they regularly fail in range or don't have set fail parameters due to carbon plugging. The engine inherently trusts a MAP sensor that's 100% carbon plugged and throwing readings 20% low. Cummins doesn't agree, but they can't even manage to fix their own engines...

It is fortunate that we get to watch your channel on very GM specific problems. A channel this prolific could never exist for Toyota, which I guess is fortunate for us owners. I found out recently how hard it is to get a remanufactured transmission for my 2000 4Runner, because there is little remanufacturing market for something that doesn't break. However, that means any OEM one with 100K miles on it still has a tone of life left in it, so for $1K delivered to the shop I'm back in business. It had 280K miles on it, I bought it several months ago, and the fluid was pure black. I don't when, or if, the fluid was ever changed. I'm getting one with 80K I I'm going to change the fluid every year, and see how many hundreds of thousands of miles it can last.

Great video. Not using an OEM part can have you chasing your tail on MAF, TPS , oxygen sensors, and idle speed control units. There is so much crap out there on Amazon and EBay. Thanks for an enlightening video. Too tier gas is of ultimate concern also. Pine Hollow had a great video on a Mercedes that had all these codes, and one tank of top tier premium solved it!

Just one of those O2 sensors going bad can cause trim balance issues, totally agree that Chinese no brand parts are junk.
