Friend of mine is using a 5.3L truck engine and PCM in a retrofit app in an older car. I believe comp cams flashed the PCM to delete the post cat O2s and tuned it a bit.
The engine is absolutely brand new but has not run in 5 yrs. After install, engine runs but is obviously fat and throws a P0200 code. Verified all power and grounds are good to go. NOID shows good to all injectors BUT fuel trims are at -95%! The engine was tuned for the factory truck intake but an LS1 intake was added for clearance which was verified to flow a bit less.
I was thinking as well we might have some stick injectors with that kind of trim or possible the tune is now all wrong with the other intake?
Thoughts? I would like to know how high/low the fuel trims can operate before a code is set? I think the PCM is doing it's job and searching for a reason to have to reduce fuel by 95% thus throwing the P0200. I would really like to know the numeric difference in flow between the truck and LS1 intakes as well.
