I was wrong. It'* grams/sec of airflow and not IPW

ya that makes sense. usually rule of thumb for mass airflow is 1g/sec for every liter of displacement at idle if I am not wrong. I think ipw is so low bc these are pretty big injectors for a normal vehicle and its a big motor

I'm not sure that you IPW is not right where it should be. The trims agree. I couldn't find the scan tool data at idle to compare.

ya i think my ipw'* are good, maf seems a tiny bit high and map seems a bit low. The bank 1 valve cover is the crankcase ventilation cover, it was defective and allowed oil into the intake manifold. I am thinking maybe the map needs to be cleaned up

Okay update...

My ltft for bank 1 is still at +-0
my ltft for bank 2 is still at +2

the vehicle was idling pretty rough now that it is starting to get warm. I am stumped beyond understanding on this one.

Could this be an ignition component or a dirty sensor? I pretty much have to pull the IM to get to the map sensor

I forget: Have we seen fuel pressure from a real fuel pressure gauge yet?

no I just assumed bad fuel pressure would result in bad fuel trims, I have the fuel pressure gauge now so I will try to test it today

Well at this point I dont have a clue what to think, seems like its at 57-59psi just priming and with the vehicle on...

I have heard the L96 is an absolute workhorse of an engine and its just a little bit of a rough idle which is more normal on OHV engines versus SOHC/DOHC

Do I just send it and hope for the best?
