Random missfire code came up for bad coil pack I changed that and the spark plugs. Now I'm getting a p0300b code which is random miss fire. I know that could mean alot of things but the missfire is at idle and low speed any idea where to start

I hope you used AC Delco plugs. Make sure the spark plug gaps are correct. Also, make sure you torque the spark plugs to manufacturer's specification. This would be a good start. Scott

SOURCE: coil pack keeps going bad,

Your problem sounds like an intermittent short in the power feed to the coil pack from the EEC module

the icm, coil, and crank sensor all read off the opti. Chances are you have a bad optispark (distributor). I just went thru the same issue and found it to be the problem.

check your fuel pressure as well, you may have anissue with your fuel pump and or relay

2013 Chevrolet sonic 1.6 LTZ miss firing very badly I’ve change the spark plug’s of the engine management light is flashing in the ABS light has come on

If the light is flashing its because your doing damage to the catalytic converter. Your dumping raw fuel, in other words you have a coil pack not firing. Your gonna have a P code. Either P0300 random multiple misfire, P301 cylinder 1 misfire, P302 cyl #2 misfire, ect... Replace the coil pack on the dead cyl.

Hi Jamie, I cannot find that fault code! I suggest that you look at the coil packs which control the ignition and the crankshaft and camshaft sensors. These are the areas most likely to cause random misfire. You should also look at the condition of the spark plugs. Fitting a new set wouldn't be a bad idea, but get the recommended plugs of the correct heat range and type. Regards John

There is a check engine light on for miss fires but the car dies not seem to miss fire. The electronic controls for the heat and air appear to work but it can be turned up to 90 and blows ice cold or can...

better look at the blender door. this is a vacuum controled door that allows hot or cold air to flow into the HVAC system and blends the temps together to make the desired temp for you, but if this is electronicly controled you might have a temp sending unit bad or even a control unit bad, as for the miss fire most people wouldn't know a miss fire from a bump in the road anymore. engines anymore if there is a missfire code, there is a missfire, find out what cylinder if missfiring and replace the sparkplug, wire, or coil, you can have the wire loaded to see if its the spark plug or not, and then get the coil tested as well, this will say you money inthe long run since replacing random parts if a waste of money on your part. test it and find the failing part and replace...

04' Ram 1500, bad mis-fire. cust repl s/plugs. no help. Codes for coils #7 & 8 w/mis-fire. replaced coils & wire set. Better, but still P0300. Compression good

You still have random misfires (PO300)
You most likely replaced those coils that set a code, and those were not the one bad offender,spiking the computer module.
Take a new coil and put in a cylinder,no change, replace old coil and move new one to next cylinder. You can do that once or twice a day, if you have nothing else to do. You need a 90 degree day, to really get that solved,unless you have an ignition oscilloscope.
Never had a bad spark plug in 45 years.

check or relace your coil pack due to the fact that when a coil pack is going bad it usually looses its umph. when it get hot and that would explain random miss fires
