2007 saturn aura xr code P0300

Check Engine Light On, P0300 Random Misfire Code. A random misfire means your engine is misfiring, but that the problem is not isolated to one or two cylinders. It is jumping around in a random way from one cylinder to another. A random misfire code usually means the air/fuel mixture is running lean. Replace plugs wires and coil packs.Check crank /camshaft position sensors, check MAFS

Random misfire headlights flicker

What causes Service Engine Light to flicker

95 cutlass supreme's random misfire has mechanic stumped.

SOUNDS LIKE IT COULD BE A BAD CONNECTION AT THE BATTERY. IF THE TERMINALS ARE LOOSE OR CORRODED THEY CAN DISPLAY SOME OF THESE SYMPTOMS. IF THEY ARE TIGHT AND CORROSION FREE, THEN HAVE THE BATTERY CHECKED FOR VOLTAGE AND COLD CRANK AMPERAGE AT YOUR LOCAL AUTO PARTS STORE. MOST AUTO PARTS PLACES CHECK THIS FOR FREE. BUT DON'T RULE OUT A BAD BATTERY CABLE. THANKS FOR USING FIX-YA. PLEASE KEEP ME POSTED. GOOD LUCK

2003 with 3-0 well maitained. truck misfires at slow speeds.mechanic put computer on it and it indicated misfired on #1 cylinder at 1000 rpms changed wires didnt solve the problem. engine light still comes...

A misfire on this type of vehicle can be due to 2 factors if it missing spark it will trigger a misfire code and it you have a bad INJECTOR. Most misfires are due to missing spark but there are quite a few in my experience that were due to bad injectors or bad injector wiring. To check this you need a NOID light disconnect injector wire on suspected cylinder in your case #1 and connect wire to NOID light (engine must be running for this) Your NOID light should have a consistent flickering light going while vehicle runs at idle. If light its NOT flickering at a steady pace and flickers erratically. THE PROBLEM IS A BAD Injector wiring or a bad computer. If light flickers consistently and in a steady pattern then YOU HAVE A BAD INJECTOR. Replace injector and that will solve this problem. I know this is a lot of info but It will help you alot. Good luck and thanks for using FIX YA
