Insufficient Fueling

With this condition, the engine runs lean of stoichiometry 14.7 to 1 (9 to 1 E100) air to fuel ratio, if the PCM is not able to compensate enough to correct for the condition. This condition is caused by a fuel delivery system concern that restricts or limits the amount of fuel being delivered to the engine. This condition is normally apparent as the engine is under a heavy load and at high RPM, when a higher volume of fuel is required. If the freeze frame data indicates the concern occurs under a heavy load and at higher RPM, a check of the fuel delivery system (checking fuel pressure with engine under a load) is the best starting point.

Examples of this include:

• low fuel pressure (fuel pump, fuel filter, fuel leaks, restricted fuel supply lines)
• fuel injector concerns
