ParticipantI have a 2009 Yukon Denali 6.2L. A few days ago it started to rough start in the morning when it was cold. The engine RPM would go from 0 to 1000 RPM and skip and sputter or even stall . After it started it ran great. SIS light came on. I had GMC dealer service look at it .
They got Code PIP4693D: Intermittent SES light on cold start due to DTC P1400 – Due to Low Fuel Volatility.
Was told to switch brand of fuel and switch to 87 octain. I have been using premium because I get better gas mileage with premium ,especially when towing. Has anyone else had this problem? I do not like the answer. I do not want to get spark knock that 87 octain gas could give me when towing. -

ParticipantDoesn’t sound right. Last time I checked, P14XX codes were manufacturer-specific EVAP codes.

ParticipantThe dealer gave me Document ID: 2519009 # PIP4693D for DTC P1400- Due To Low Fuel Volatility.
Condition : Cold rough running/SES light when cold starting
Recommendation: change fuel brand or switch to 87octane.
It notes that: Slight spark knock may be noticed with 87 octane. This is not a good answer from GM.
It also notes that this PI superseded to include results of the previously mentioned investigation Please discard PIP4693C -

ParticipantI will change fuel brand first before I go to 87 octane. Like I said I did not like the fix. It sound like GM screwed up the works with this Flexfuel engine that should run n high test but does not want to start with high test. Maybe that was the idea for calling it FlexFuel. Start on 87 octane and then run on high test. I need to think about how to do that.
I was dumbfounded when the service tech said i needed to change fuel brand or go to 87 octane. The GMC has over 22K on it burning mostly high test of the same brand. -

ParticipantWere you using Shell gas by chance? On another forum in section dedicated to 6.2L engines several owners were having cold start problems. Turns out once they shifted away from Shell premium to another brand, no more problem. I don’t have any problems with Shell in my 6.2L Sierra Denali but then gasoline is not the same in all parts of the country.

ParticipantI got the same code. Along with 0171,1400, p0300 0301 p0306 p0599 2006 4.8.
Frustrating and it all started with an air filter replacement and fuel injector additive. A week before it ran better than when I bought it new.
