SOURCE: engine code p0307 cylinder #7 misfire

It could be carbon deposits on valve seats keeping valves from totally closing. You can try getting you a can of motorcraft PM3 top end engine cleaner and get engine up to operating temp then remove one of the small vacuum lines from the intake and draw the contents of the can slowly into the engine.After you have drawn in the contents shut engine off and let it soak for about 45 minutes then crank it back up and let it run until it clears. Now it will smoke like a forrest fire while you are doing this so don't be alarmed,just tell the neighbors you are spraying for mosqitos.This may cure the problem. If not you may be looking at a valve job.
This can be verified with a compression test if this is what is causing it.

SOURCE: It has a number 2 cylinder misfire. I have already had the plugs, plug wires, and the back coil changed, and it still says it has a number two cylinder misfire. What can I try next?

misfire caused by leaking in the intake valve you must chek it , or may be your car is working rich that means fuel - air mixture is not on the right ratio so check your oxygen sensor

SOURCE: KEEPS CODING 5 cylinder misfire. Replaced

Clear the computer. Either use a scanner or disconnect the NEG battery cable for 10 minutes. The old defect takes 25 to 35 startups to clear itself. Then there is the possibility that #5 is a different cylinder on that motor. The engine may be misfiring because of a bad injector on #5.

Engine light flashing whole car shakes and motor sounds like a helacopter..... tested it and it said spark plug 4 misfired........... replaced all 4 spark plugs and it's still reading as a misfired spark...

Sounds like it's either a coil pack or an injector to me, try switching the number four coil pack with any of the other coil packs if the miss follows the coil pack you need to replace that coil pack. if not it's either a fuel injector or a mechanical problem inside the motor, I would rent noid lights from a local auto parts store and look for injector pulse in the cylinder with a misfire, if the noid light is flashing it may be better to leave it to a professional as it is likely internal engine damage. hope that helps. chris

I have a 2001 toyota fourrunner showing computer codes p-0300 & p-0304. What are these codes for?

The P0300 is a random multiple misfire code, the P0304 is specific to the number 4 cylinder, a common problem for this code is a igniter/coil malfunction on the #4 cylinder, each cylinder has it's own coil, what you can do is to remove the #4 coil pack(it's the middle one on the driver's side) and switch it with coil #2 which is the first one on the driver's side, clear the codes and drive it if the code now shows P0302 replace the coil.

Hi, I'm getting codes 136 02 sensor bank 1 sensor 2 along with 301 cylinder 1 misfire and 304 cylinder 4 misfire. Could the 136 be caused by the misfires ? I'd like to just swap out the plugs, but, they...

I wouldn't worry about the 02 code it will clear when you replace the coils. to be positive that the coils are bad, swap them with another cylinder and see if that cylinder misfires. 90% of the time it's the coil. Let me know

Motor is skipping, lacks power,ck eng. light is

A flashing light means you're actively misfiring. Have the ECU scanned to find out which cylinder it is. Bad coil packs are common and there is a recall for them. Call a dealer with your VIN number and if yours qualifies, you'll get four new ones free. If not, buy a coil pack for each cylinder that is indicated as misfiring and replace them. They're $35 at AutoZone and about $160 at an Audi dealer.

2001 pontiac cowl pack not fireing.

Here is a diagram of the firing order for you 3800 engine. Cylinders 1 and 4 are misfiring because the operate under the same "Coil Pack" and the coil pack has unfortunately gone bad. O'Reilly sells them for between $30-50 depending on the amount of warranty coverage you want. To replace, simply unscrew the screws that hold the coil pack in place. WAIT before unplugging the plug wires. Place the old coil pack and new coil pack next to each other, unplug one plug wire, then plug it to that same port on the new coil pack. then do the same for the other plug wire. Then screw your new coil pack in place, and start you car. should run fine!
