no it was an intake leak and the map sensor we changed map and installed new manifold gaskets, and a pcv wasnt fully locked in , its night and day , looking forward to data logging and lews custom tune
Re: 2018 silverado 5.3 afm deleted and disabled
im still getting p0430 and p0420 and they pop up in a weird way they will simultaneously pop up with the tire pressure monitor sensor im not a tech but my dude is super sharp and hes baffled it runs strong with the canned tuned but i need to figure this out before logging for lew , ANY feedback would be great

put it back to stock and drive it for a while to confirm the tune is not the issue?

we figured it out we did an full scan on a snap on scanner and cats and o2 up and down stream and all were within specs with tune removed , so far after about 75 miles in stock theres been no trouble codez but we will run it for a few days first

the tpsm code is resolved i had a tire pressure sensor go out i got a new one had it installed and its resolved . the cat codes p0420 and p0430 was perplexing they were pretty consistent in canned tune but after running 100 octane 11.999 $ a gal lol and running the diablo octane tune it ran great no codes i ran a full tank no codes and i data logged , the only way i could run with no codes other than a diablo tune was stock with afm enabled with 100 octane in manual so afm wasnt trying to adjust injectors , im going to email lew the log and see what yall say. my tech ran multiple scans with a professional snap on scanner the cats were all within spec as were the upstream and downstream o2 sensors , but i had new downstream o2 sensors and a map sensor so we replaced them all with no visible change in the scan #s .my tech isnt just some shady tree mechanic he was the main tech at nor cal mopar and ASE. master in chevy, mopar, and 10 other makers hes very sharp and hes at a loss
thank you mike for the response i do appreciate your time this is VERY. frustrating and time consuming

If you load the tune that seems to cause the codes and get them to come back, Id love to look at the 'last tune written' from the device at that point.
