DTC P0300 - Random misfire... means that the the car's computer has detected that not all of the engine's cylinders are firing properly. If the last digit is a number other than zero, it corresponds to the cylinder number that is misfiring. A P0302 code, for example, would tell you cylinder number two is misfiring. Unfortunately, a P0300 doesn't tell you specifically which cylinder(s) is/are mis-firing, nor why.

Symptoms may include the engine may be harder to start, the engine may stumble / stumble, and/or hesitate or other symptoms may also be present

A code P0300 may mean that one or more of the following has happened:
Faulty spark plugs or wires
Faulty coil (pack)
Faulty oxygen sensor(s)
Faulty fuel injector(s)
Burned exhaust valve
Faulty catalytic converter(s)
Stuck/blocked EGR valve / passages
Faulty camshaft position sensor
Defective computer


DTC P0122 - Throttle Position Sensor/Switch A Circuit Low Input... means that the the car's computer has detected that the TPS (throttle position sensor) is reporting too low a voltage. On some vehicles that lower limit is 0.17 - 0.20 volts (V). Did you adjust it when you installed it? If the signal value is less than .17V then the PCM sets this code. Could be an open or a short to ground in the signal circuit. Or you may have lost the 5Volt reference voltage.

A code P0122 may mean that one or more of the following has happened:
TPS not mounted securely
TPS circuit short to ground or another wire
Faulty TPS
Damaged computer (PCM)


DTC P0171 - System Too Lean (Bank 1)... this indicate that an oxygen sensor in bank 1 detected a lean condition (too much oxygen in the exhaust). On V6/V8/V10 engines, Bank 1 is the side of the engine that has cylinder #1. This DTC is very similar to P0174, and in fact your vehicle may show both codes at the same time. You will more than likely not notice any drivability problems, although there may be symptoms such as a lack of power, detonation (spark knock), and/or a hesitation/surge on acceleration.

A code P0171 may mean that one or more of the following has happened:
The MAF (Mass Air Flow) Sensor is dirty or faulty. Note: The use of "oiled" air filters may cause the MAF to become dirty if the filter is over-oiled. There is also an issue with some vehicles where the MAF sensors leak the silicone potting material used to protect the circuitry.
There could be a vacuum leak downstream of the MAF sensor.


Hope this helps.

1996 olds cutlas supreme, 3.1 L has trouble codes PO171 and PO300. Any Ideas?

The po300 is a misfire code.This means there is probably a plug,plug wire,ignition coil,or ignition module.Check the coil towers one at a time.These are know for corroding.If you find one that is corroded then replace the plug wire also.Po171 is a lean condition code.The po300 could be causing the po171.If you have not had a tune up Now would be a good time.Hope this helps.Good luck.

Fault codes, PO300, PO171 and PO174

The Po300 is a random misfire code where the PCM is picking up the misfires. The other two codes are lean mixture codes. More than likely these are due to bad intake manifold gaskets allowing unmetered air to enter the engine causing the engine to lean out and possibly run a little rough when cold.
