Hi, did you ever fix this problem? If so, what was it? I'm having the same exact problem with the same exact car and engine.


Thanks

Code P0301 = Cylinder 1 Misfire Detected
Start with the “easy to check” items first...Some of these checks/repairs require specialized tools or equipment. A trusted repair shop or dealer would be would be advised to correct this problem.
Try changing the spark plugs, Check the coil, TPS sensor & MAP sensor voltage. Check the fuel pressure, check for vacuum leaks including intake manifold. Dirty or plugged injector, timing, compression test-including leak test--meaning, put #1 on TDC then charge the cylinder with air (~30lbs), and check for leak via exhaust/intake. Update PCM to the latest software, Worn camshaft.

Chrysler 2004 sebring 2.7 liter , it started miss firing while driving all of the sudden, after a while it quit running and will not start now but will fire while trying to start it.. Diagnosis read 70700...

Make sure battery has a full charge and battery connections all good. I don't know what testing you have done? Engine cranking, do you have spark at the plugs-- proper fuel pressure-- and fuel injector pulse?
The 70700, I don't know? I did look at p0700, that has to do with transaxle. The p1793 caught my attention, that is for ignition switch run position issue. I'd probably do a voltage drop test at the ignition switch, compare voltage to ignition switch against voltage from ignition switch, run position. Just my opinion.

2004 mini cooper 47.000miles.error code p0301 and p0326 any help would be ace.the car seems to run fine but the engine management light is on.

p0301 is Cylinder 1 Misfire. Check fuel injector,Spark plug, plug wire, ignition coil.

p0326 is the Knock sensor (Combined with above code I'd check the fuel injector on #1 cylinder)

2004 jeep wrangler engine code P0301

P0301 - Cylinder 1 misfire detected........P0302 - Cylinder 2 misfire deteced, and so on........so either it is a current misfire, which you would be running on 4 cylinders instead of 3, or it is an intermittent problem.......i will provide some possiblities,,,
- ignition system (spark plugs, leads, coil packs)
- fuel system (injectors, ecu etc)
- running out of fuel
- low compression

Basically, if your vehciel has not had service for a while, change the spark plugs, and engine oil, and give her some loving, tender care....

However, if it is regularly servicedm there might be a bigger problem.....

More info required to help you.

Have code P-0301. Engine has rough idle, like a mis . Happens at stops and backing up in park or drive.

P0301 IS A MISSFIRE CODE FOR # 1 CYLINDER
IT COULD BE SPARK PLUG, STOPPED UP FUEL INJECTOR, COIL ( IF COIL ON PLUG TYPE ), OR PLUG WIRE . COULD ALSO BE A BASE ENGINE PROBLEM VALVE , BROKE PISTON RINGS, ETC.

HOPE THIS HELPS

Cde po301

A P0301 code means that the car's computer has detected that one of the engine's cylinders is not firing properly. In this case it's cylinder #1.

Symptoms may include:
· the engine may be harder to start
· the engine may stumble / stumble, and/or hesitate
· other symptoms may also be present

A code P0301 may mean that one or more of the following has happened:

· Faulty spark plug or wire
· Faulty coil (pack)
· Faulty oxygen sensor(s)
· Faulty fuel injector
· Burned exhaust valve
· Faulty catalytic converter(s)
· Running out of fuel
· Poor compression
· Defective computer

If there are no symptoms, the simplest thing to do is to reset the code and see if it comes back.

If there are symptoms such as the engine is stumbling or hesitating, check all wiring and connectors that lead to the cylinders (i.e. spark plugs). Depending on how long the ignition components have been in the car, it may be a good idea to replace them as part of your regular maintenance schedule. I would suggest spark plugs, spark plug wires, distributor cap, and rotor (if applicable). Otherwise, check the coils (a.k.a. coil packs). In some cases, the catalytic converter has gone bad. If you smell rotten eggs in the exhaust, your cat converter needs to be replaced. I've also heard in other cases the problems were faulty fuel injectors.

Ok i had a p0302 and then i changed plug wires coil packs the icm injectors camshaft sensor and now i can a p0301 code.. and when i clear the code it will come back with the same code or else a p0300.. im...

1. Freeze Powertrain Control Module (PCM) and see if the problem can be duplicated.

2. Wiggle tug test wiring for #2 injector.

3. Scope the #2 injector for a glitch when the misfire happens. 1. Test for the Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR)/coolant adapter gasket leaking EGR gases past the gasket.

2. Connect a vacuum pump to the MAP sensor, block the vacuum source, reset fuel trims, start the engine and add typical vacuum to the MAP sensor and check operation.

3. Test the spark output with 2 High Energy Ignition (HEI) testers, at 25 KV air gap each, at the spark plug wires to ground at wires 2 and 3, then 1 and 4 at cranking speed and engine running.

4. Test the fuel injector pulse width at the injectors compared to the scanner data.

5. Disconnect the O2 sensor, reset the fuel trims, test the system operation in open loop, test injector pulse width. Compare to the closed loop operation injector pulse width and engine operation.

6. Test the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) powers and grounds during the problem.
