idle it and pop the hood and get a spray bottle with some water in it and start misting water on stuff - coil packs, plug wire ends, O2 connecters, etc and see which one sets it up

It's running very strong 99 % of the time. It's getting frustrating I gotta get that UltraScan soon as well.
I have one now too. You check your ecu for water damage? I will let you know the outcome of mine tomorrow or Tuesday

Cleaned ECU and now only seems to be missing on 8 - going to check to see if plug is fouled, and then trouble shoot wire, coil, injector. My o2's were reading when connected to T4 software - although my cats need to be replaced.

I have not yet touched the ECU. I should take a good look at it as well.

I have a "chipped" ECU coming to test out. A buddy is hooking me up so I figured I would give it a shot.

My truck is running like a champ but still smoking at high RPM. waiting to see what fluid I start losing before I tear into it..

What did you do, take it out and open it up? That might be one of my next steps.

I would (obviously) double check - plugs and the condition they are in, check for spark - bad coil, weak spark or too much fuel causes 1316's and 1314's.

I would ONLY do this if your ECU shows signs that it has had water in it. This is not a fail safe way to fix it more of a last ditch effort. Just like you would any water damaged circuit board. - Open it up, scrub it with a clean tooth brush - PT recommends using dish washing detergent then clean it off once more with alcohol or alcohol based electrical cleaner let it all dry put it back together and see where that takes you.

good luck
