Unlikely a fuel issue… get a cheap pressure gauge… the end of your stock fuel rail has a place for it! Try the new plugs 1st. Irridiums are not the best for the LS1… and tr6 is too cold in my opinion, for N/A. I havent read the whole thread, and will when I get time, and comment back. Check you harness closely for a ground issue etc. ---

tr55’s here sounds like you might be running rich, My car ran pig rich when it wasnt tuned and it hiccuped here and there, wait4me performance is a great deal, just had mine done there and everything runs great, and no more SES lights ---

Wait… you did mods and no tune yet… rich you may be! Just go get a Tune. I have EFI Live, but your better off going to a dyno in my opinion. I like DEZ Racing in Seakonk Ma., heading there myself in a week or two to get a base tune with my new motor… if ya wanna go, let me know. ---

If the new plugs dont fix it, im gonna pull the valve cover off on that side (driver side) just to make sure theirs no bent push rod or messed up valve spring…if their isnt, I will just shut the code off. His car still gets shitty mileage, but I think it’s because he’s running a hotcam. ---

BTW: I know it’s not as good as HPTuners or EFI live but if you want to use my Predator to take a look at what’s going on it wouldn’t be a problem. We’d be able to tell if it’s running rich or if it’s seeing any knock etc pretty quickly/easily. I’ll shoot you a PM. ---

I like DEZ Racing in Seakonk Ma., heading there myself in a week or two to get a base tune with my new motor… if ya wanna go, let me know. The misfire started the day before I put my long tubes on… only mods I did was hooker long tubes, and ORY…I have 2 out of the 4 o2 sensors hooked up…The other 2 (after the cats on stock Y pipe) We shut off with my buddys HP Tuners We did do some tuning with HP Tuners…advanced timing 1\*, shut some codes off and some other little things. We didnt get into fuel tuning because i didnt want to start touching my fuel trims if I really do have a serious misfire…then it will screw everything up. We will do fuel tuning once the misfire is fixed (we have a LC1 wide band too) As far as dyno tune, with just bolt ons it would help, but honestly I dont think its worth it yet to go spend the $500+ to have it done when in the future I plan on adding some LS6 heads and a cam. ---

Its a little strange that it is only picking up a missfire on #5. If it were bad set of spark plugs or too cold/hot a heat range, or if it were way too rich/lean it would usually set a random multiple misfire code “P0300” ---
