flashing service engine light!!!
#1
that means random misfire right???
heres the background. i have a custom 93 octane tune from nelson for my stock cammed 5.3
i swapped the 5.3 for a 5.7 but im still on the same tune
specs on the 5.7 are truck intake, LQ9 injectors, LQ9 cam, LQ9 pushrods, 918 springs, ls1 heads, stock 5.3 everything else aside from boltons
i changed to delco irridium plugs and threw a random misfire code so i went back with the delco/ngk factory plugs thinking that would fix it.
now i can make the service engine light blink on command by holding 1st gear up around 3k rpm's for about 8 seconds. after it starts blinking i can drop it back to D and after about 15 seconds it will go away. theres never a noticeable miss to me. do yall think this is tune related or plug/wire/coil pack related.
remember the plugs, wires, and packs were what cam off of my 5.3 that had 0 problems
any thoughts?????

Dude, i knew you couldnt keep your foot out of it. Did this come up after you pounded the gas? This may be a bigger problem. I dont want to be the bearer of mebadnews but this may an you leaned her out and cracked a ring landing or burned a valve.
Get that code read...now! Then do a leakdown test.
