Re: need help..code 44

Code 44 is O2 sensor lean, which fits with your description of the missing. By the sounds of your post the tune needs to be better. There are areas where not enough fuel is being delivered. Have you data logged and checked the BLM values along with the injector PW? That would help in knowing what is going on.
