Working on an 04.5 LLY with 115k miles on it, all stock. According to EFI #3 cylinder has a balance rate of +15. Tried icepick method and then replaced #2 and #7 harness with no change what so ever. Also checked harness @ FICM. Does anyone have any other ideas? There is no smoke and no blow by. I am at a loss...:confused:

Have you tried swapping the injectors around to see if the problem moves with the injector?

I swapped 5 and 7 with no change. Wish I had a tech 2, I know that EFI has issues with DVT's so I'm not real sure which is the problem hole. If I shut off injector 7 with EFI idle doesn't change, which is why I tried swapping 5 and 7.

The problem is with DVTs, not balance rates. If the balance rates are showing #3 is having a problem, it is actually #3. Swap that injector to another cylinder and see if the bad balance rate moves too.
