Poor acceleration prior to 2000 rpm with a P00016 DTC
Been trying to figure out what is causing poor acceleration from a stop on my 2008 Suburban with a 5.3 L V-8. The DTC given by OnStar diagnostics indicated a P0016 code which according to service manual is a Cam Sensor or a Crankshaft Sensor and/or a upstream Oxygen sensor on Bank 1. I have replaced both the crankshaft and camshaft sensors. After being replaced I still have the same situation and the acceleration problem seems to be getting worse. The engine starts up fine without any hesitation and idles without a struggle. But, when I put the vehicle in gear and drive away the engine is so doggy and struggles to accelerate until the RPM attains about 2000 rpm. Hooked up a scanner to the ALDL and got readings for the O2 sensors voltage and both sides are showing readings on the up and downstream sensors. Wondering if I have a ECM that is bad or needs reprogrammed as the Automatic Fuel Management doesn't seem to be working. I have not seen the dash board indicate that the engine is only running on 4 cylinders when coasting downhill on the expressway. Whoever is reading this thread, I would appreciate your input on what may possibly be causing my engine to perform poorly while accelerating from a stop.
