- 2007 Tahoe Misfire Cylinder 7...error code P0307
Causes: Spark Plugs / Spark Plug Wires / Ignition Coil Pack / Active Fuel Management (AFM) / Displacement On Demand (DOD)
Replaced spark plugs, wires and ignition coil on Cylinder 7 and still had a misfire...after further investigation it was found to be a faulty collapsed AFM lifter. Released the lifter, modified the VLOM and had ECU reprogrammed to delete the AFM feature following Crazed Performance LLCs @CrazedPerformanceRepair
Everything works well now thanks to the modification instructions by Crazed Performance LLC at www.crazedperformancerepair.com and the AFM delete by Brendan over at www.lt1swaps.com - Навчання та стиль
Amazing video. The only reason why I attempted this repair was because of your video. Thank you very much. Your honesty and your easy to understand steps made this repair fairly easy.
Thanks bro!!! Glad it helped!! 🫡
I've looked at hundreds of videos and yours is absolutely the best that I've ever seen. Thank You
I appreciate it!! Worked great and put a lot more miles on it with no issues...I just pulled the engine and tore it down for a swap into my wife's 86 C10...everything was still intact! All lifters were good including the one I repaired...it was not collapsed
Very good job my man I have been fixing cars for as long as I can remember and for someone who doesn’t you did a fantastic job very impressed… 👍👍
Thanks bro! Means a lot...had to save some money and get my daily back on the road 🦾
@@87SSBOI my 08 gmc is doin the same thing #7 but I’m try find the torque specs and sequence for everything to put back together
@@savageboy2257 I had to Google it...if I can find it I will post link here...but I do remember be careful with the intake specs...I mistaked ft in for ft lbs and it was almost a bad day...good work tho man glad you decided to DIY...and just to be sure u did have the AFM deleted from the ECU right? If not, the lifter could immediately collapse again as soon as you start it up...just FYI
You Gave me Inspiration for Real and to say "your not a mechanic" I really couldn't tell...Great Job👍🏾
@87SSBOI is there any chance i could get that same piece you put in and do the same steps with out the delete
I have the same problem too on my 2008 GMC Yukon. Thanks for your video bro!!! Appreciate these types of videos because we aren’t professional mechanics and these type of jobs they will try to take all of your money. Great work!
Yes they will...they wanted I think like $2500 if I remember correctly and I only spent about $75 and few hours of time...I still daily drive my Tahoe and take it on long road trips with no problem
My hat off to you, for someone that said they never did anything like this before you did a great job. Best thing to do is take your time, take pictures and videos and never be afraid to ask questions.
I did notice your oil pressure was low before and after. On some of these 5.3 the O ring that holds the pick up tube goes bad and you suck up air. It is an easy fix also. Not sure if that is your problem.
As a master tech of over 30 years, I must say good job
Thanks man, that means a lot!! I had to do something cause this was my daily driver and my daughter had just total loss her car so we immediately went from 3 cars to 1 car and that sucks...Tahoe sat for a month so I decided to give it a go! And yea I have heard about the O ring issue...I will look into that...I did have a faulty harness going to the oil sending unit and I'm at around 40psi after swapping it out but I think I still should be higher than that so the O ring may be the culprit...Thanks again!
@@87SSBOI If you put your mind to it you can do it. Sure some things a shop needs to do or someone with a full access scan tool.
If you are getting around 40psi then that is ok, one thing you can really never trust your factory gauges. You could install a oil pressure gauge to take place of your. On these GM Clusters the stepper motors go bad, they used cheap solder and they develop cracks which will make the gauges act up.
I wish when I went to mechanic school back in the 80's that we had social media like it is now lol a lot of reading back then but I wouldn't change anything from all I have learned and still learning every day.
@@DavidGuns yessir!!! Thanks for all your feedback!
@@87SSBOI This guys channel is good, he really goes over everything and shows you. He just put this video out Part 2 of a Chevrolet Express 6.0 where he replaces the oil pan gasket and pick up tube O ring.

Thanks man! Had to make something happen due to budget...if I can do it, u can bro 🦾
Solid content and source of info for someone who’s not a mechanic. This should assist someone in the right direction of diagnosing what may be the culprit.
I have the same issues with this Tahoe that I’m using. Will be doing this after this state thaws out. Thank you for the video!
No problem...and she's still running strong with this remedy...runs better than it did before because eim on all 8 cylinders at all times
It’s a really great job..!!! Thank you, really appreciate your time on this video, easy to understand and very very helpful. Thank you for share it with all of us. 👏👏👍.
Glad it was helpful…it worked great for me as well as a lot of others!!
Thanks for the video. I’m having the same issue and the lifter is the last thing left. But appreciate you for putting this video out as I’m about to dive into mine now. Mad respect for you bro. You did the job honestly and gave credit where credit was due. I got mad respect for you. And really appreciate you taking the extra time to make the video. Thanks again bro.
Thanks for the recognition and glad I could help with your issue!! Btw, my Tahoe is still running strong🦾
Just got it all back together and running better than I ever remember.
@@makeitwork4you294 Great to hear!!! Mine runs a lot better on all cylinders at all times now as well!!! Good work! What cylinder was it?
Thank you so much for this video. I couldn’t get past the fuel injector connect. This video save me a fortune. I was able to get my lifter unstuck on my 2009 Silverado.
Yessir!!!! Glad to assist!!! Please be sure to get the AFM/dod removed from the ECU tho or it will happen again
WOW! My Suburban stand still for 3-4 years. Now i see your video. I will check my Engine and i think this is the problem of my car. Very very thanks from germany! :-)
Hope this helps ya!!! 🤞🏾🤞🏾🤞🏾
Your video was very genuine and enjoyable. Great job!
Thanks 💯
You did a great job on this my Brotha!
I’m the same way.. I’ll give it a shot myself before I take it to a shop and get ripped off. Especially, one they get real high mileage I prefer to try working on it myself.
Yessir!!! Thanks! It's still running strong
same issue, great video to help non-mechanics diagnose. luckily mine was just the plug
🫡💯
This video is the best I have found thanks very informative
Glad it was helpful! 🫡
Guy here is better at teaching than anybody I’ve seen so far on UA-cam I really like this guy and I’m gonna like and subscribe to everything that
I appreciate it man! Means a lot
Thanks for the video. I have a 2004 which is not a supposed to have AFM but I have misfires and don't know why. I glad you let us see how you fixed the lifter.
No prob
You talk about your Tahoe the same way I do 🤣🤣 Glad you were able to save her. I got lucky...I was able to disable my AFM before I ever had a lifter problem. 233,000 miles and going strong.
Nice!!!!
Great job videoing this post. When you startled removing oil sending unit and the plate it was attached to lifted and you had all the bolts riding in the holes I almost choked! I could just see one falling into engine! I couldn't tell if you shop vac that intake area before going any farther but I hope you did. I totally enjoyed all of it.
Yea I cleaned up real good…I appreciate the support!!!!
Great job for a first time. Its my first time going to be doing the same and i was intimidated until i watched your video. Thanks for the motivation bro. Amazing job again bro 👏 👍
No problem, glad I could motivate you to get it done and save some money!!!
Love your video brotha. This helped me out a lot cause im struggling with money right now.
Man listen, I had to figure something out cause I don’t have the money they trimming to charge at the dealership…glad I could help keep some money in your pocket
MA Brudda, am driving to work today and THE SAME THING happened to me, I stopped @advance auto, changed the coil, wires....bit it did not fix it...
I think it's a stuck lifter just like you said... I will Rlrea H out for the AFM delete...
Thanks man🎉🎉🎉 cheers... I was @ a loss with this....
No problem bro, good luck with it…they make a full DOD/AFM delete kit if you want to go that route…it replaces cam, lifters, etc but u still have to get the ECU tuned for it
Same issue here, and we’re learning as we go. 🛠️
Yup!
hopefully you got this fixed. collasped lifters means its time to afm delete. the afm system goes bad after like 50k miles and usually causes hella heartbreak. more if you have an upgraded camshaft. same thing happened to my car rn. ordered an afm delete kit, new pushrods, springs, etc that the person who had my car before me should have but didnt when they upgraded the cam. but the afm delete kit from a site like texas speed will fix this issue and give you the options you need to make sure it doesnt happen again.
Also i would suggest link bar style lifters. why? one less fail point by removing the plastic trays all together. if u dont believe look up what happens when ur plastic lifter tray starts to get old. gl gb
if you do the new lifters you can also add more hp to your car. glad to see you got it all sorted and this will def help my problem so you did help a bro out lol.
Thanks for the info!!! I did the backyard afm/did delete but in the near future I plan to order the kit...it's working fine so far tho...Crazed Performance Repair's videos helped me out tremendously
hello im looking to do this to my 07 sierra since its having all the symptoms @87ssboi had with his yukon. can you please give me more info on the afm delete and how to possible make a permanent fix so i wont have to do anything else to my truck. thanks in advance.
Hey I'm in the same boat working on my neighbor 2013 suburban with the same problem. Just hope it's not a collapse lifter. Not bad for a first timer 👍. Your commentary is funny 🤣!! You saved a lot of money doing it yourself. That is the reason why I started doing my own repairs. 🇺🇸 1st 4ever
Thanks!! Def saved A lot and it wasn’t difficult…worked like a dream and lasted with no issues
If the problems the same as his then it's a stuck lifter....mines the same too on my avalanche and it's the same lifter problem....hopefully the cam isn't damaged
THANKS FOR THE INFO LEARNED SOMETHING NEW TODAY LOL
Our 2009 tahoe has this exact problem. Have to 2 foot it at lights to keep it from dying, stabilitrac, abs, flashing check engine. Same code as yours gonna see about a range disabler for it too. Appreciate the vid man
No prob 💯
@87SSBoi how long did it take to get your ECM back from the tuner? I'm probably gonna send ours to the same guy but it's our daily is why I'm wondering, and is your hoe still running good?
@@ThatBlueHoe yup still running great…it’s my daily and I drive it out of town and pull my SS with it…it took about a week n a half btw me sending it and getting it back…good luck bro
@87SSBoi thanks for the reply man, and I need the luck this thing is a headache 😂
Now you have me rethinking the problem with my LS3 6.2. when I was doing my remote start in the morning I would hear a faint tick on the driver side then all of a sudden blinking engine light and stability control service light. Live data shows ,#3 misfire . I change plugs wires and #3 coil, still have misfire engine shaking. #3 plug it's not one of the AFM cylinders which are 1,7,4 and 6. So maybe I have a stuck lifter like you had.
That's a possibility...hope u get it figured soon 🙏🏾
Ugh same issue misfire cylinder 7. Tapping. Sitting at mechanic rn. Im out of town for the week. May just take it back and do this. Great video
Thanks 💯
@@87SSBOI driveway fixed, first time attempting a repair like this, decided to clean throttle body so it turned into a Saturday Sunday job but still running strong 3000 miles later
@@mullenauto yessir!!!! This was my first time too and I put another 20k on it before it totaled the Tahoe but I then pulled the drivetrain for a 86 C10 swap…everything still A1!!! Saved a lot of $$$$
Yeah most common thing when this happens I just found out lifter will go bad so need to replace that but also make sure you replace the oil pan pick up tube o-ring and while at it replace the oil pan gasket as well won’t hurt to replace it since the oil pan is gonna come down. I will be doing this to mine as well
Yea I had to change the pickup tube o-ring..got my good oil pressure back!!!
good job I have 04 chevy silverado pickup work truck went thru went through same thing bought 2 modest priced OBD- diagnostic (7 to 10) via amazon 2 diff brands both saying same thing been thinking for few weeks maybe it's just that darn computer I going to get it checked out gotta save money where you can save it , saved money is made money

Hope u get it figured out man…also check out Crazed Performance Repair…I learned this from him and his vids are more in depth
Thanks bro for the direction. I will check those guys out as well. At this point I have no choice but to take matters into my own hands.I changed my flywheel and once everything was put together again I got all these codes and my engine started running rough.
Great video, thanks for the info,
No prob…Thanks for watching

Thanks for your support...glad I could help 🦾
This video just saved my ass. I'm 90 percent sure this is what's going on with mine.
Glad I could help!!! And just so u know it has worked great since I did it and at full V8 power at all times is great!!!
Is your Tahoe flex fuel?
I change the spark and switch but still problem what happened
Thx man !! Hella helped
Nice my only recommendation would be before removing the vlom is to clean up the debris a bit avoid dropping extra spices into the void haha. But very good job.
That flashing check engine light can also happen if you have a leak on your fuel rail, i had an idiot that swore up and down he was a mechanic work on my vehicle and he took the fuel rail off to replace knock sensor, i took it to a real pro and told me it was spraying fuel at my fuel rail
You did a good job there, I'm having the same problem with my 2009 gmc as well, it has the same engine
I’m having the same problem on my 09 Silverado what did you do too fix it?
@@coreyjackson2028 I didn't get it fixed yet, I'm saving some money up so a mechanic can fix it for me, he said that the #7 lifter is bad, so what he said he's going to do is take the top half of the motor apart and replace all the lifters and the oil pump sensor and replace all the other parts including new gaskets, parts including labor he said will cost me $2,200, the dealer told me it would cost me $4,500, the dealership is crooked
I can do it for $1600

Up to you on the dealer bro but I don't like wasting money on something I can do myself... definitely need to be technically inclined at least a little to be able to accomplish this task tho...the dealer cost is going to be upwards of $1k-$2k just FYI

Still running strong too…just pulled it for a C10 swap..everything still A1

It's been so long ago...I don't remember but the link to the guy that sells it is in the description
Appreciate the video bro, quick question Did you loosen up cylinder seven or did you just hit it with a hammer till it goes up and it catches the spring? Thanks in advance 🙏🏽
No problem man...I just tapped it with the hammer...check out Crazed Performance Repair for more detailed vid...I got all info from him 🦾

Well done ✔️

Good video man..
Thanks
I had the same problem except my truck had a tap on cylinder 6. Thought it was a spun bearing, or the flexplate. Turns out the dod/afm system caused this to happen. I would seriously consider doing a dod delete bro, bc it probably will happen again. The dod system works good until you get up into higher miles then it starts failing. I'm in the process now of a cam swap, a non dod valley cover, LS7 lifters and tray, high performance pushrods, and LS7 valve springs. They also have a device made by range that you can plug into your ob reader port that turns the dod system off as well.
Thanks for watching and for the input...my DOD is deleted...sent my computer off and had it removed by LT1swaps.com ➡️ I also modified the vlom for the delete...later on down the road I may buy the actual delete kit with the stage 2 cam and the vlom delete plate 🦾
@@87SSBOI I did some research on what you did right after I watched your video. I like the way you did it, it also saves money. I only reason I'm doing the kit is bc I'm installing a bigger cam and it doesn't support the dod lifters. If you don't plan on doing a cam swap the way you got it is perfect. How long did it take to get your computer back?
@@kingofkings8709 whole process took about a week n a half
Yo im glad you fixed your truck, im also having the same issues with my truck. i have a 07 sierra and i first got a misfire on cylinder 4 code p0304 then i changed all the spark plugs and i got a random misfire with the code p0300. i ended up changing my coil and spark plugs wire and its still doing the same thing. someone told me that ac delco spark plugs are recommended for my truck but i used bosch spark plugs, im wondering if you think that can be an issue? also what did you do to finally fix the issue?? im not trying to drive my truck like this since it shifts rough on 1st gear and im not trying to mess up my transmission. thanks in advance, i also did remove my throttle body and mass air flow sensor and cleaned both but no luck.
I released the collapsed lifter and deleted the AFM...check out @crazed performance repair for more detailed vids on the repair...thanks for watching and good luck🦾

Hi
First, thanks for the help
I did exactly the same as you, but in the minute 26.33 I did not understand the exact method of repair, how is it possible to explain more, thank you
Thanks for watching! For more info check out the link in my description from Crazed Performance...I got all my repair info from his UA-cam page...he specializes in this
hey man, what is the deal with your oil pressure. It looked like it was low after the mod you did. cheers
The oil sending unit harness cabling was faulty...replaced it and back to normal
I have a Toyota Camry 2001 2.2 Liter engine 4 Cyl . I have this kinda problem. Flashing engine lights on and Misfire Codes. After changing my Spark Plugs and New wires and New Coil wires .It still Misfires. Then I change my Fuel Injectors Change Oil and put some Lucas Fuel Injector cleaner Still Misfires . This is the Codes that is Showing up
P0300 Random /Multiple Cylinder Misfire
P0301 Cylinder 1 Misfire
P0302 Cylinder 2 Misfire
P0303 Cylinder 3 Misfire
Now iam thinking changing my Fuel Pressure Regulator .So is this going to solve my problem on my vehicle .I heard some people will say that the timing chain is the problem .and some will tell me that it is Intake Valve Not Setting Properly .
I’m not sure man..I’m not a mechanic, was just trying to save some money…I don’t know about any other cars besides this Tahoe…sorry, hope u get it figured out
Planning on doing this . Mines is number 4 should I just go ahead and take off intake and get into the lifters or should I start with sparks and wires etc 1st ?
Definitely start with wires, plugs and ignition coil first... hopefully one of them will be your issue and not a collapsed lifter
IMO, I would not replace parts blindly. P.I.T, pull, inspect, test. You’ll rebuild a whole engine blindly throwing money at parts.
hey my man let me tell what is its the PLENUM INTAKE GASKETS.BELIEVE ME MY 2001 SUBURBAN HAS 4000.000 MILES ON IT AND LAST WEEKEND I CHANGED THEM AND IT RUNS LIKE NEW.IT WAS IDKEING UP AND DOWN ESPECIALLY IN THE MORNING COLD WEATHER.NOWI IT RUNS AT 500 RPM STEADY..
So I replaced the lifters on mine and it still misfiring idk if it maybe bc I didn’t change the spark plug wires n spark plugs or even the coils
Oh wow...that sucks...I have no idea what that could be...is it still throwing a code?
Always start with the simple stuff first
I’m having the same problem with my 2009 Silverado. I changed the spark plug New wires new ignition coil. And still misfiring on cylinder 8 I was thinking the same bad lifter. And after seeing this video. I believe that’s my problem. I’m going to check it out thanx man. Good video man

Trying to solve 2010 Sierra with similar issue on #1 which is part of AFM. I swapped #1 and #3 coil. Installed new plug on #1. Made another code pop up. It is too cold here to pull engine apart. I want to test wiring tonight before I tell nephew to take it to a shop.

@@87SSBOI I opened valve cover yesterday. Intake pushrod was bent on #1. Valve was moving freely. I installed new correct pushrod but rocker is slapping on valve stem. 1/4" slack. My guess is lifter is stuck. I do not think the valve was damaged because valve did not dump gas into cylinder from intake until I pushed valve down manually. I have been watching the crazedperformance videos. If a compression test shows good, then I am going to try and release lifter and delete AFM.

No it wasn't turning off nor smelling fuel..it was just shaking and the tranny was shifting hard
I have a lifter tick and all the symptoms of this video ....1st thing 1st...my fuel pump was replaced...it went out on me at a light... and I replaced my fuel injectors and added Lucas injector cleaner 2(bottles) and filled up on Chevron Techron 93...it was like night and day ...
Now I'm about to change all my sparks and wires since I'm told the bad injectors (which were stupid dirty and clogged) could have messed with my plugs (coils/wires) which were also replaced...
My only thing is I have a Non DOD 6.2 Denali, my valley is Flat No Ridges... so would my lifter still get stuck? Its definitely tapping?...I guess it wouldn't hurt to try? I would love to clean it up and replace my sending unit and sensor as well.
How long did it take to send the computer out and get it back?
About 2 weeks from sending it to receiving it back
When you add the spacer? Do you still have to add in the oil pressure filter also or does the spacer replace that?
Spacer replaces the filter

Hey great job, when you released the lifter with the screwdriver shaft did you remove the rocker arm? You said you wished you got it on video but everything was still together. Crazed Performance has always had the rocker removed and the rod flies out. Thanks!
Yes the rocker arm was removed and it flew out…nothing dramatic but it popped out 😂
when you worked on the lifter you said that you had to torque it? what was the torque spec and what did you actually tightened? thanks
I didn't have to torque the lifter...I had to release it with a hammer and small metal/steel rod that fits in the hole
@@87SSBOI gotcha
@@87SSBOI one last question, will deleting the afm/dod cause you to no pass a smog check?
@@Pibs2525 Have no idea...I don't have smog test in my state...my thought is that it shouldn't have an effect on it tho because not all cars have AFM/DOD
@@87SSBOI I was able to unstuck my lifter with the tool and now I need to do the vlom modification and delete the dod/afm from the computer. Did you remove the dod from the computer? And if so does that mess with your transmission or VVT?
I got the same problem did you just torque the lifter or did you replace them all?
Didn’t replace any…just released the one that was collapsed
didnt you have to change the cam shaft also? that's what I heard you have to go to get rid of the fuel managment
No I didn't go that route
I did the poor man's remedy...lol
@@87SSBOI You and Alot of people ...I was about to buy a air compressor and impact wrench to remove the head and replace them...because its a 3wk back up to even get it diagnosed at GMC and I rather spend the $ on tools then Labor cost and overpriced parts and my truck being down for 1+ mth
Bro I’m going through the same sheeeee! Same year and everything
Very common
Me too same year and miles
Not sure if we chatted about it but, your oil pressure is low. Might want to look into that. Thanks for the shout out. Feel free to PM me on my website if we didn't chat on it. I can give you all the common possibilities.
Yes...I ended up replacing the pickup tube O-ring and I'm good now!! Thanks!!!
CPR is the goat of this mod. I did the same thing and I'm not a mechanic either. I drove on it 6 months without sending the computer off. I have a misfire in 4 now, but couldn't get it unstuck. I parked it and bought a Toyota. I'll mess with it this summer. Have you had any issues since then?
@@dustindhansen darn, if 4 has an issue now while having the VLOM mod done it's not likely a simple collapse. It's more likely a spun lifter from a bad plastic guide or something.
No I haven’t had any issues…still drive it everyday and on road trips
I also sent the ECU off tho and did the VLOM mod tho
My 2007 suburban misfiring changed all the coils and spark plug wires not plugs its still running like shit pulled the driver side valve cover no lose rocker arms
Damn...I'm at a lost for words...might hav3 to change those plugs...is the Check Engine Light on? If so, what's the code?
Had misfire on cylinder 4 changed coil wire went away then had misfire on cylinder 1 3 5 7 changed all coils on driver side. Then had code p0354 now changed all 8 coils idle real ruff no codes
@@nicholasfrank4353 not familiar with that code but see if you can get thru to Crazed Performance Repair on UA-cam...he specializes in these vehicles
So did you actually fix the lifter problem or did you just use that punch on it and collapsed in it fixed itself and if that’s the case, wonder why it was stuck to begin with
No can't say I actually fixed it...I just uncollapsed the spring on the lifter...I'm not sure why this happens but it's a common problem on these engine if u have the flex fuel dod/afm
@@87SSBOI So they way the AFM lifters work is they use oil pressure to push in the locking pins and collapse the lifters to prevent the pushrods from opening the valves. Sometimes they stick in the collapsed position. Once you got the lifter unstuck, the locking pins that pop out to keep the lifter at full length. Once you delete the AFM, those lifters should never get the required oil pressure to move those locking pins. In theory, they should remain locked in the 'out' position. So yes it can be called fixed. I've been running my deleted 2009 Tahoe for well over 150,000 miles since turning off the AFM. 233,000 miles total.
@@4alphazulu Thanks for the explanation…yea mine has 207k now
