Did you test the vacuum pot on the egr to make sure it wasn't ruptured?
If the o2 sensor is bad (IE: low voltage below stoich after a set period of running time) it should set a code 13.
Notice I said should.
even then, the truck will run in open loop without the O2 sensor.
meaning, no feedback from the O2 sensor and fixed tables in the calibration files.
A truck that constantly runs in open loop should also code.
It may not turn on the dash light, but the code will store as an active or history fault.
Nope, no codes. The sensor was reading like .37v-.50v when I first started the engine, then just dropped to like .007-.009v when it warmed up.
I worked on a vortec truck once that was acting exactly like this once and it was throwing all kind of o2 sensor codes. They just put a new trans in it and the plugged all the O2 sensors in backwards. So I would think it has something to do with your O2 sensors.
I might just replace it on payday. I read somewhere that o2 sensors sometimes go bad over time and are cheap. Also, I unplugged it while the engine was running and there was no change in idle.
