    wow, you are logging way too much useless stuff there.

    Your fuel trims are going way + which (agreeing with the code) you are lean. You may have a leak post MAF causing this.

    It could be a lot of things. My first guess would be a leak after the MAF. You can check the fuel pressure pretty easily with a fuel pressure gauge and see if your pump is screwing with you.

    OK, then why are you asking haha

    Replace your pump, that is pretty dangerous to ride around on a failing pump.

    99 silverado PCMs are known for getting false knock . . . find yourself a 00=02 PCM
