I have an 03 Silverado V6 automatic. I am having a bad misfire. Codes that come up are p0101 and p0304. I replaced the cap, rotor, and all 6 plugs and wires last week. Nothing has changed. If anything, it has gotten worse. What could the issue be?

I'd have fuel pressure checked, and at the very least, replace fuel filter. Not unusual to get multiple misfire codes due to low fuel pressure, thus starving cylinder(s), and causing the misfire code(s).

I investigated this for over an hour while tossing things around in my head and truly think that you need to have your O2 censor checked along with your converter. One probable cause to your misfire could very well stem from your catalytic converter due to an O2 faulty etc.etc. Why not try a smog shop before tearing that engine apart any further and replacing any unnecessary gaskets. Thats a tight engine in my opinion and unless you really mistreat it, I would bet on it at race day. Have you recently been in a fender bender? Let us know cause that might change my advice.

SOURCE: I have a 2001 silverado v6 and I keep getting the p0304 code #4 misfire. I changed plugs, wires, rotor and distrubutor. I also checked the ignition coil which is good. Any ideas?

Check the compression on that cylinder. The most probably cause is a faulty fuel injector. It could be partially blocked, with crud. An inexpensive fix might be to purchase a can (bottle) of fuel-injector clean, and put some higher octain gas in for one (1) tank-full. It might clear the problem without pulling the injector. Also check the wiring going to the injector. It could be the wiring connector going to the plug.

SOURCE: random misfire cylinder 3

Smoke test entire vehicle for vacuum leaks

You don't have any idea where the misfire
is from, at this point,find out

You installed parts

That is not what you do,you diagnose & find
the cause of the misfire,no parts involved there

You don't have the professional tools or software
at home, to diagnose without wasting time & getting
no where

Could have a bad intake gasket or mechanical problem
in one cylinder

On my 1999 Buick Century the diagnostics codes come back as P0304 and P0440. P0304 is spark plug misfire. The P0440 is in Evap issue. Does anyone know what the problem is?

Misfire could be coil issue or poor compression depending at what point it misfires.
EVAP issue could be a leaking fuel filler cap or an air leak in the vacuum pipes.

Checked dtc codes in my ford ranger, found p1401 manufacturer control auxilary emissions control, p0304 p0306 cylinder 4 and 6 misfires. egr valve has been replaced

Check and / or replace plugs, wires, distributor cap, coil / coilpack

Change plugs especially if you have over 50k miles on them.
Wires can sometimes have cracks in them causing misfire.

Hope this helps...

2004 Ford Escape with 3.0L V6. misfire with flashing "check engine" light. Codes retrieved are P0316 and P0304

P0316 = engine misfire
P0304 = #4 cyl
A very common problem is a bad COP or coil. They can be expensive ($75? at part store), so you could try switching the coil with another cylinder and see if the code changes location with the coil.
They are easy to replace. Unplug the connector. Remove the one screw (8mm?). Pull straight out.

I have a 1996 crown vic i need to know these touble codes po305 po304

P0304 means that cylinder 4 has a misfire and P0305 is a cylinder 5 misfire. What this means is you may have bad spark plugs, or bad plug wires, or you may need to replace your distributor cap and rotor. I would start with plugs and wires.

I have a 2001 chevy blazer with the 4.3 vortex v6 motor misfiring on cylinders 4, 5, 6. i have changed the distributor, coil and the module that bolts to coil, and the spark plugs, wires, and distributor...

misfires can be caused by faulty ignition components, but they can also stem from other components. Such as faulty injectors, or improperly timed or unseated valves. Sounds like you have touched on all of your ignition suspects.
Are there any codes present other than P0304, P0305 and P0306? If so they should help guide you in the right direction. If not, You might want to make sure your valves are seating and if so, go ahead and swap an injector from a misfiring hole with a good one from a hole with no misfire. (like switch #2 and #4 injectors for example) if the misfire moves to cyl 2, you know the injector is at fault.

What do these trouble codes mean po306 cyclinder misfire detected .how do i fix the problem?

it means you have a misfire on the number 6 cylinder

this could be caused by a whole lot of reasons.

start by inspecting for a bad plug wire if it has them

check for fire on the cylinder with a spark test tool from local part store

if it is a coil-on-plug set-up, check the coil for fire

replace coil/plug wire as needed, replace boot on coil if coil needed, replace spark plugs
