When servicing the vehicle with the VIN you entered, the following diagnosis might be helpful if the vehicle exhibits the described symptoms.

Condition/Concern:

Misfire at steady state speed and RPM, MIL illuminated, and a P0300 set

Recommendation/Instructions:

If the fuel injector harness has been off, there is now a misfire at steady state speed and RPM and normal diagnostics have failed to identify the cause, suspect crossed fuel injector connectors. Remove the manifold and check the color code of each circuit to verify its routed to the correct injector.

Important: The rear cylinder head is the odd bank (1-3-5), and the front head the even (2-4-6). The numbers cast into the intake make it look the opposite because the runners cross to the other side.

If these steps do not resolve the condition, please contact GM TAC for further diagnostic assistance.
