My GMC yukon runs rough at low RPM such as when I come to a stop. Engine RPM drops to around 400-500. Engine shakes as if miss firing or about to die. No check engine light appearing.I had check engine light in past. Cant remember codes but they said (engine lean Bank 1& 2). I changed mass air sensor and put engine treatment in fuel tank a couple of months ago. No problems until yesterday. I was told in past it could be a bad intake gasket also. I have appointment at dealer Monday. Do you have any suggestions??? Please HELP.

I would check the Throttle Position Sensor, crankshaft position sensor, camshaft position sensor and fuel filter as for the engine lean bank 1&2 that would be the 02 sensors

This is common when the fuel pump goes out be to be sure let's do a fuel pressure test by following this guide:

https://www.2carpros.com/articles/how-to-check-fuel-system-pressure-and-regulator

Fuel pressure .................... 385-425 kPa (55-62 psi)

Here is how to change the pump out in case you need it. Check out the images (below). Please let us know what happens.
