We have a 07 granite with a 370 and t310mr trans it’s had a random miss that’s been getting worse you run it hard loaded in town that’s when it’s the worst when it cools down it’s not as noticeable  sometimes it even nearly goes away almost instantly we’ve changed nozzles and eups cleaned engine grounds it’s been at the dealer they can’t figure it out I have a 05 granite that has the same engine and transmission can I swap ecms to see if that helps or does anyone have any other ideas

does it do it when idleing? if so, does the RPM's go from 650 to 625 and back again?  Hook a fuel pressure gauge to it and see if there is a pressure change when the miss happens.  

Yes it’s got a miss when idling it doesn’t really come and go idling it’s kind of like if you take off at one stop light it’s missing really bad next one not so much it’s obviously down on power as well it really seems electrical to me just because it’s intermittent but seems to be more frequent than it used to be where is the best place to check fuel pressure 

when you had the EUP's out, did you notice any cracks in the wires? they are proned to crack and rub againt the block. you can un hook the EUP wires, and un plug the EECU and check the EUP wires with DVOM for a short to ground on the block.  

No that’s what’s strange I don’t recall a lightning bolt coming on in the truck when it does this I’d don’t have a lot of knowledge of how the system does it’s diagnostics if it had a bad wire or a wire grounding out should I have a lightning bolt?

not always a code right away, but a 9-2 code is a bad ground code...  its called ''power reset without the key''  as if the batteries were unhooked while it was running or  cranking..   my point is...  if you use that buletin and check all the grounds, it fix this issue..  I never tell someone to replace EUP's wire hareness, or ECM's,  because in my experience it's been a bad wire, or connection..   it sucks to spend 5 G's on nothing..

I will clean these grounds I’ve cleaned the engine ground before but I will do it again where is this ground breaker in the bulletin and the ones on the dash?if there isn’t a lightning bolt on the dash will it retrieve this code if I use the cruise control or do they have to be active to do that?

@dieselfuel007 does the lightning bolt light up as you turn the key on when the ECM is doing its self test?

Ground breaker, not sure on your granites over there, but should be on firewall or EPDM. @Joey Mack  will know where

Have to pull cluster and dash panel out to get to dash grounds

While idling & missing, press a flathead screwdriver firmly against each injector line, roughly an inch above the EUP connection.  You should feel injection pulses.  If one of them isn't pulsing then that's your problem cylinder.  Second test is a cylinder cut out test: individually pull a wire off each EUP, one at a time, reinstall each wire as you go.  Don't back wire screws out all the way, they're not designed to come all the way out. The wire end is egg shaped to slide off a loosened screw. You'll get a spark as you take the wire off.  You're listening for which EUP cutout affects the idle the least.

Another thing to check: valves have Rotators.  Pull your valve covers and look for missing rotators in the valve caps.  Joey will know better than me what these look for.  If all this checks out then you need to inspect your camshaft for a bad lifter that maybe ate a lobe on your camshaft.

I just had $18,000 of work done on my 2003 AI350, which had some combination of all of these failures including injector nozzle. Only part of the above I dodged was camshaft, but I did have 2 failing lifters and 3 bad EUPs. 2 broken EUP springs and 1 failing solenoid in an EUP.

Well I’ve finally had some time in the shop swapped ecm with another truck and put the ecm from the truck with the miss in the other truck neither truck run different with the others ecm checked fuel pressure it seemed good at idle and at 1600 while I was at my dealer I picked up a fuel pressure regulator/check valve instantly upon start up could tell it run a lot smoother it was on the job today driver said its way better thanks for all the help
