Have a random miss fire code at idle speed when engine is warm

Have changed plugs, wires and injectors, can speed engine to 5000 rpm and miss fire goes a away for a day and then returns. Acts like a week lifter but not possible. Any suggestions

Hi check for air leaks around the manifold. Do a compression test if there is a difference between the cylinders check valve clearance.

Toyota Rav 4 1997 .Check engine comes on .Codes are P0301,302,303,304116 . What to do.

The engine coolant temperature is high. Your other Codes are for missing cylinders on cylinder 1,2,3,and 4. Get the Codes cleared and start over. Changing the plugs and wires,etc could have generated the missing cylinder Codes.

Autozone,Advance, and Oreilys will scan for free.

Check your engine for an IDLE SPEED CONTROL SOLENOID, which may be in the intake. Or a fuel pressure regulator.

A lot of times people work on the spark side and forget the fuel injectors. They can cause a miss.

Random misfire

If you replaced the plugs and wires you should know the engine has a distributor cap. The coil is in the bottom of the distributor.
Keep in mind it could be an injector instead of an ignition problem.
Is the check engine light on and have you checked for trouble codes ?

2002 4.3 vortex chevy got a rough idle but smooths out at 1500 rpm and has a miss fire code changed intake gasket

I would replace the spark plugs and plug wires. It sounds like you have a bad plug wire but replacing all of the plug wires and all the plugs should resolve your issue.

Rav4 99 P0303 ( random misfire) and P0300 and P0302

Had the same problem on my brothers Rav4. We changed the Plug wires and the problem is corrected. He had changed the plugs a couple of months ago. We had the code read at Advance Auto, it came up P0300 Random misfire. His old wires looked fine also.

Miss fire #3 cyld. compression 125psi idle speed 2500 rpm

Hi

A faulty IAC would cause a random misfire rather than a misfire in a specific cylinder, as would an intake air leak, both of which would cause a high idle amongst other things.

Run the engine until its good and hot, disconnect the injector harness plug so the injectors are disabled, remove all the spark plugs, disable the ignition by unplugging the wiring connector(s) from the coil pack(s), and then carry out another compression test on al the cylinders.

If the compressions are now all relatively the same then you very highly likely have a faulty injector in cylinder 3.

Very best regards

Geordie
