Started with reduced power P0300 misfire problem and a freeze frame fuel trim bank 2 of -54% short term -25%. Check data streams and all was normal O2 sensors all normal so I erase codes and start again and get reduced power P1518. Don't know where to look!

Good morning,

What are the long-term trims for both banks while running? They are more important than the short-term trims.

I attached the flow chart for you below of the code with steps to follow. In most cases, it is the throttle body that is the issue for both complaints.

What steps did you follow in the flow charts that I left? The flow chart was very specific in tests that needed to be done.
