I worked on another fuel injected vehicle and found that it had an injector problem which had caused the check engine light to com on telling me that I had a random misfire.I did the same as you did and changed the knock sensor ,the crank position sensor and the cam position sensor only to find out that is was a distributor and injector problem.I would recommend that you test your cam and crank sensor and make sure that they are working properly And if the sensors are good then I would check my fuel system including the injectors to make sure there are no bad ones.

I have a 2005 Chevy Cavalier. I had a misfire problem, and I changed the coil pack, ignition module, plugs and also changed a purge solenoid. Car ran great for 3 days, then misfired again. I saw other peopple had similar problems so I just took it to the dealer...they changed the spark plugs, coil pack aand ignition module. Told me my parts were bad. You have to use the OEM spark plugs...if you don't, then they will blow your ignition module and then possibly your coil pack. Cost me $650 bucks to repair. But it's been running fine ever since. I got a refund from Autozone, but just make sure you use the OEM spark plugs.

Why does my 2000 Toyota Echo misfire on left turns ?

It sounds like you have a wiring or connector problem in the steering column. I'm surprised your mechanic did not think to check for that.

I have a 2003 olds alero 2.2 ecotec engine,when first cranked the idle is fine,then die down the code shows p0300 rapid miss fires ,changed the plugs,switched out module,coil, it stiil does this,while its...

p0300 random misfire can becaused by a few different thing's - low fuel pressure or flow ,weak fuel pump, clogged fuel filter , clogged injectors , vacuum leaks , incorrect sensor input to PCM - mass airflow sensor or MAP sensor , TPS - throttle postion sensor , Hooking up a professional or factory scanner an viewing engine sensor data should be the first step in the diagnostic process , before ever replacing any parts . What are the fuel trims at ? Adding or taking away fuel ,O2 sensors switching normally ?

What's your problem? my 2004 mercury monterey has eight codes ,po301,poo53,po106,po316,po300,po304,po305,and po306

PO 300 is multiple misfires detected
PO 301, 304, 305, 306 are misfires in cylinders 1,4,5,&6
PO 053 is HO2S Bank 1 Sensor 1 Heater Resistance
PO 106 is MAP/BARO CKT Range / Perf
PO 316 is Misfire detected 1st 1000 Revs.

On a misfire, I usually push towards the spark plugs, plug wires, and coil packs / distributor coil.
You have PO 106 and PO 053 that need to be inquired about at nearest AutoZone.
They can give you an idea as to what is the problem on these.

Did a MAP sensor **** out and cause all the misfires ?
Did a misfire cause the MAP sensor error?
You see what I'm saying ?...Something caused all the misfires...thinking MAP...but not that familiar with the function of the MAP.

Hope this helps...

I have a 2002 TrailBlazer with the straight 6,diognostic check said #3 cylinder was dead or misfiring, also map sensor showed up. #3 cylinder was misfiring, so to test the coil pack I swapped #3 coil pack...

did you replace only one spark plug? that can cause issues because of differences in resistances between cylinders. also, did the map code stay off after replacing
?

2003 alero 4cyl. 2.2l throwing a #1 misfire code

TRY MOVING THE WIRE HARNESS TO THE INJECTOR WHILE THE ENGINE IS RUNNING, EVEN STRETCHING IT A LITTLE. THE WIRES CAN BREAK INSIDE THE COVERING AT THE PLUG.

TRY SWAPPING THE #1 PLUG WITH ANOTHER ONE TO SEE IF THE MISFIRE GOES TO THAT HOLE. SAME GOES FOR THE INJECTOR.

LOOK CAREFULLY AT THE COIL HOUSING TO SEE IF THERE ARE ANY CRACKS ALONG THE AREAS CONNECTED TO THE SPARK PLUG. USE A SPARK TESTER ON THE COIL PACK TO CHECK FOR SPARK, THIS MAY REQUIRE THE USE OF SPECIAL PLUG WIRES.

IF NECESSARY DO A COMPRESSION TEST ON THE ENGINE.
