Thanks guys! I checked my fuse box under the hood and inspected the cig lighter fuse. It was not blown and the outlet still has power to it. The second time the check engine light started flashing two days ago, the engine made brief exhaust rattle sound and i had the hood open at the time and could see the engine looked like it almost rattled too. Thankfully i did not continue to drive it after that happened.
As of today, the check engine has not flashed and there has not been any abnormal noises from the cab or the exhaust. Ill make sure to pull over if the light starts flashing while Im driving. I have a feeling that i have not seen the last of this issue, so i might break down and take it to the dealer and have them run the diagnostic scan for $116... :icon_shrug: |

Interestingly enough I had this happen when I installed the SVT injectors. The CEL light flashed and beeped and shortly after I got 'bank 1 & 2 running rich' codes (and I was). Happened every time I cleared the codes. Once the OEM injectors were reinstalled (till I can get a tune) the CEL did nothing outta the ordinary.
So my 2 cents is you have a internal fuel leak, possibly a injector sticking that is making you run rich intermittently, but maybe not rich enough to set a code, if that is possible. Try some injector cleaner in you fuel for a cheap starting point. As for the not being able to comm with the PCM I also suggest trying another reader before you start worrying to much about that, maybe the one they tried was not CAN compatible. |
