89 octane

I’m chasing an intermittent P219A (Bank 1 Air/Fuel Ratio Imbalance) and looking for ideas before I keep throwing parts at it.


Symptoms:


  • P219A keeps returning
  • Usually comes back during steady cruise around 1500–2000 after clearing code
  • Very slight off-rhythm vibration/shake at idle, but it’s subtle enough that I only feel it with my hand on engine
  • Truck otherwise runs well
  • No noticeable power loss
  • No rough idle
  • No misfire codes
  • At WOT around around 5k rpm I sometimes hear something like a little chatter the same as running low octane

Things I’ve already replaced:


  • Upstream O2 sensor on Bank 1
  • Exhaust manifolds BD diesel
  • All spark plugs
  • One fuel injector (suspected Bank 1 injector)

Things I’ve checked:


  • MAP sensor voltage looks normal
    • KOEO around 4.3V
    • Idle around 1.08V
  • Fuel trims appear normal
    • Idle:
      • B1 STFT about +2.5%
      • B1 LTFT about -0.6%
      • B2 STFT about -1.4%
      • B2 LTFT about +0.8%
    • Cruise:
      • B1 STFT about +2.7%
      • B2 STFT about -3.7%
  • No obvious vacuum leak symptoms
  • No obvious exhaust leak symptoms after manifold replacement
  • Misfire counters on cylinders 1, 3, 5, and 7 remain at 0 even after about 30 minutes of driving
  • Fuel injector all operate at same voltage.
If anyone has any ideas I would greatly appreciate it thank you :)
