Hi I also had smooth running error logged, have you GT1, you can test the injectors using this software. My problem was mainly a rough idle, turned out to be 2 faulty injectors, I tried millers injector cleaner but made no difference so I replaced the two injectors and its been perfect ever since

Smooth running will be down to 1 or more failing injectors. I'm not aware these can be cleaned as they have to be recalibrated. There is another recent post regards this.
