I am planning on doing all 8 injectors as it has to be a injector? But wanted to know if anyone has ran into this

If it idles too rough it won't display the rates

If it is outside the desired current to maintain fuel pressure, or if the fuel rate drops below 0 the ECM will default to 0 and run rough. Had this happen on one before. Putting it in drive will put enough load on it to see an actual fuel rate and then will display balance rates.

well it must have been the injectors causing it not to read, as I put all new injectors in and runs great and can read the balance rates.. so there must have been a issue with the injectors for awhile as I tried to read them awhile ago when it was running fine.. heres a vid of the truck with the stuck injector thanks guys
