    Coolant leak back of engine

    I have a coolant leak on the back side of the engine. It is sometime a 12" puddle other times a couple of drips. I took it into the stealer and they said the backing plate is leaking.

    LLY: P0670

    Sorry if this seems dumb. This code, P0670 just popped up. I can clear it with my CTS. It stays gone until I shut off the truck and then comes back up when I start the truck again.

    P0308 and P1244 Intermittent

    I am getting these 2 codes together on a semi consistent basis. They are usually accompanied by excess black smoke and a rough idle.

    FPR in LLY

    What are some signs of an FPR going out? Is desired frp higher than measured frp? Or is it the other way around? Typically how much difference is allowed between desired and actual frp? Thank in advance
