Just re-checked the situation. While there is plenty of fuel, I think that the spark is either intermitt or missing on the driver's bank. The drivers side exhaust is cold and the passengers side is too hot to touch


After researching of a few forums
1. Broken valve spring

2. Bad ground on back of head (might try ohm it to make sure that wires not broken internally)
3. Bad ECU

Went and cleaned all the grounds, the two on the back of the head, the one going to the body the ones at the front of the block and the one from the battery to the body and now my battery is really charging compared to what it was in the past and the driver side exhaust is back to being hot confirmed it my pouring water on each cylinder.. Haven’t drove it but it’s titled for 30 minutes without a problem.. will update this post once I drive it for a while

50 psi is a little low. should be closer to 60

I would check fuel pump and injectors

another possibility is MAF sensor
