I have exactly the same problem and codes you listed on my 2000 Camry 4 cyl. I replaced the plugs which had no effect. My friend mechanic said the problem is deffinitely the wires and I could also need to replace the coil pack.

gm has a problem with this from way back. double check your spark plugs and if they are not ac delcos, change them. ive seen this time and time again swearing, myself, that there is no way that the plugs would cause this issue. it always comes up with random misfire and usually another 1 or 2 codes misfire codes. put in ac delco, no more codes. let me know

SOURCE: Rough idle p0304 code. Light steady then flashes. many part repla

I also have the same problem with my 2002 caravan 3.3L. Misfire on cylinder #5 (P0305). Replaced ignition plugs & wires, intake manifold gasket, plenum gasket, fuel filter, air filter, cleaned fuel injectors, swapped fuel injector #5 to #1. After all these, I have no more DTC code but the symptom of misfire is still there, the idle is rough and I can feel the misfire even if I step on the gas when in park or neutral. Please let me know what to do next. Thanks!

SOURCE: 2005 chevy aveo Check engine and hold light comes on only over 60

I've become SO FAMILIAR with this problem on my own Chevy Optra. The first time it happened, I took it in to my dealer. It cost me over $100 and I SWORE it would never cost me that again. It really IS the fuel system. (Sticking with Shell's "detergent" gas doesn't help!) Simple solution is to add a bottle of fuel SYSTEM cleaner (not just the fuel injector) and the FIRST sign of trouble or with each oil change. No more problems !! "Live and learn and pass it on !"

2006 pontiac g6 gt 3.5l v6 When driving service enging light comes on and starts blinking, doesnt shift gears then the engine shuts off. What could cause this?

Flashing engine light is a severe Misfire. You need to have this checked as a misfire can kill the converters which are expensive.

My 2003 Pontiac Grand Am GT has a flashing and sometimes a Solid SES light and runs rough

Usually with the newer vehicles when it starts to run rough or idle poorly it's time for a tune up, that will also make the check engine light come on on some vehicles, it needing an oil change can also cause the light

Hi, I have a 05 Pontiac Wave that I have the check engine light on, had the code read from a friend who is a mechanic and has one of those code readers and it comes P0102 and P0103, am I right when this...

if your friend is a tech then why don`t you have him replace the parts one day when he`s not working or is he not the friend you think he is.this does refer to the O2 sensors but then he should have told you that when he told you code numbers.

I havce a 2000 pontiac sunfire and the trac off light came on and the check engine light is flashing. I changed spark plugs, cables, and an injector that was bad but the lights are still on. the car runs...

i can't remember what year sunfire's were effected but there was a update to reflash the PCM for a O2 sensor code
if the check engine light comes on it disables the traction control
i know before GM dealers were the only ones with the program to update the PCM
hope this helps

I have had no problem with my sunfire but randomly the engine light came on today, any idea as to what this may mean

A check engine light can mean a variety of things. It could be as simple as changing your oil to as complex as sensors needing changing. Most local parts houses will run a free diagnostics check to check why the engine light is on. Once the check is done it will show you what sensors have been triggered. Have your mechanic look this list over and make the best decision based on the information. Usually a check engine light can be a simple fix. Hope this helps, good luck!
