I love this video and saved me a tow and dealer repair charges. My 04 Golf all of a sudden gave P301,302,303 and 300. Could not drive the car and ran ultra rough. I swapped out the battery first and that fixed problem with no more error code and motor runs perfect as it always does. Thanks again for the video and saving me lots of money.
Yeah there is literally no way a bad battery would cause a car to run rough. What do you think a battery does exactly? You probably had bad gas but had already burned most or all of it before changing the battery. When you disconnected the old battery you reset the ECU and all DTCs with it. See what happened here? Since you cleared the codes yourself they weren’t there anymore and since you probably burned off the shit gas the codes weren’t about to come back. Congrats, you spent $200 on an issue that would’ve sorted itself out with time and a $7 bottle of Lucas fuel treatment.
It is sometimes never as easy as explained in this video. He does have good tips for people new to to auto repair. Check out everything he has pointed out, more than likely the problem will be discovered.
Mine was a map sensor and ignition module control.My check engine started blinking when i got to 60 on the highway and i felt some drop in power and the rpms went up and i had to press the gas more, after i finally got in town it started shaking like it was going to stall, i pulled over to a parking lot and restarted it and the second time it stalled.I called a tow. Thats my experience with PO 300 .05 Pontiac grand prix, runs like new again after that $750 fix.
Hey not a bot, we have a few different places we check after asking our mechanic. A good place to look is at repairpal.com (if you're ever wondering), Cheers!
Hey, i have a grand Cherokee laredo 2009 3.7L , there was a problem with coil number 5, i'v replaced it also replaced spark plugs, but some times when i'm driving the car suddenly i feel a high vibration it looks like from the engine but when i stop the car and start it again after 1 minute i don't feel any vibration, with a scanner there is misfire with cylinder 3, any thoughts about the problem please!!
Misfires can be caused by several different things. It sounds like you're on the right path with replacing the coilpack and plugs. Always be sure to replace the spark plugs with a good quality plug. Example is an O.E recommended replacement, and be sure to replace all spark plugs at the same time. P0300 is a fault for random multiple misfire, P0303 is misfire cylinder 3. If cylinder 3 now has a misfire you can quickly find out if this is a coilpack issue by swapping the coil pack from the cylinder with the misfire code to a cylinder that does not have the fault. Example for cylinder 3 misfire. Engine off Locate cylinder 3 coil pack. Standing in front of the engine , driver side (bank 2) there will be three coilpacks. Counting from the front of the car to the back these cylinders are 1,3,5. Remove the coil pack from cylinder 3 and swap that one with cylinder 1 or 5 (all coil packs are the same so whichever one is easiest to get to). Reinstall and start up engine. If the misfire fault moved from cylinder 3 to the cylinder you installed the coil pack, you know that you are looking at faulty coil pack.Now there are a few other things that can cause a misfire. Look for any vacuum leaks. There are many plastic / rubber hoses under the hood and over time these can become brittle and crack or break. When this happens unmetered air can be entering the system causing the vehicle to run lean and causing a rough running issue or misfire. A vacuum leak can be hard to find and may require a smoke test to be performed in order to find the leak. There are a few different ways to quickly check for a vacuum leak. First do a visual inspection looking for any cracked lines, hoses etc. Then gently move the hoses, lines etc around and listen for any hissing noises or changes in idle when doing so. Another way is to spray a small amount of brake cleaner or carb cleaner on connection areas. This will increase the idle also letting you know there is a leak. BE SURE TO NOT SPRAY CARB CLEANER OR BRAKE CLEANER ON HOT SURFACES OR IGNITION ITEMS AS IT IS FLAMABLE! A few other things that can cause random multiples engine misfire are faulty fuel injector, dirty fuel injectors, dirty or clogged fuel filter, vacuum leaks, mass air flow sensor along with other sensors in the system. Once all other items are ruled out next step would be to check engine health by doing a compression / leak down test. This may be something you will need to have your local auto shop do as special tools are required. Hope this helps!
Bruhh I took my Lincoln mkz to a repair shop they did everything they could and suggested that I should go to the dealership because I probably need an update or something
Not correct about the battery. Battery that can start the car should not have any problem making sparks at spark plugs at all. Conversely, battery that cannot make sparks will never be able to start a car. This is because it takes 1000x more power to crank the engine by starter motor than making sparks.

I’ve been a mechanic for 30 years and never had a battery cause a misfire…especially since the batteries only job is to crank and start the car. Once the car is running the alternator takes over charging your battery and maintaining Voltage to your computer systems… a battery causing a misfire? Sorry can’t agree with that one.

My car was shaking and throwing alot of fumes through the exhaust. when i got home it didnt want to turn on until i stepped on the gas and turned it on. not it turns on but burns through fuel quickly and i got the code p0300 can you help me figure out the problem
Check your spark plugs first, probably replace them either way given how cheap and easy they are. If that doesnt help, test or replace the ignition coils with a spark tester or multimeter google it, if the coils are good next check/replace your fuel filter, if that's still not fixing it, try a fuel injector cleaner, after that look for leaks in your vacuum lines and intake system, last thing it would probably be if its not any of that its time to replace the fuel injectors. Did you find out what it was, 4 months after your comment?
BENT COIL CONNECTOR PIN: I had an annoying and hard to trouble shoot P0300 code on my 6 cylinder 2003 GMC Envoy XL. I had replaced the spark plugs and coils and the code and misfire would not go away. Why it did not trigger a P030x error, I don't know. Just passing this along as something simple for others to check. Have a nice day!

I changed every component on my jeep that would cause a misfire and I'm getting a cylinder 2 and a P0300. Not sure whats going on with it. its a 2008 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited
I ignored my check engine light. And then my truck started to make a pop noise and i lost a lot of power and went way slower also each time it made the pop noise my truck jerked. Anyways it’s a 1200-2000 dollar repair cause they have to take it to a machine shop and flatten it out or whatever. 🤷♂️
Well i have the P0300 and the P0122 code which is for the tps sensor which i replaced because it came with the new throttle body i just put on along with spark plugs wires coils 02 sensors map sensor iac valve air filter fuel filter and fuel pump. I have an 02 buick century with over 250,000 miles it idles low and high
I kept getting the P135B code on my 17 Traverse. I had a hunch it was spark plug related. Shop couldn’t find anything wrong or misfires. Today it started throwing P0300 codes. Putting new spark plugs in now. Will update later . Thx!!!!
So, is it the P0300 that caused the P0014 code on my 2014 Nissan Rogue, or other way around? I’ve read so many different opinions and fixes here on UA-cam that I don’t know what to believe anymore. Some videos talk about replacing camshaft, VVT sensors. Vehicle has 101,000 Kms, so I guess I can start with a new set of Iridium spark plugs, even though original ones are supposed to go to 160,000 Kms. Thanks.
2:10 in the video, the issue with a vacuum leak is going to be a lean condition which means insufficient fuel, too much oxygen for the mixture as another way of saying it. I would recommend a correction to the video.
You are absolutely right! The guy is this video said it wrong! A vacuum leak would cause excess oxygen as it would be sucking in more air thus throwing off the air fuel mixture and causing a lean condition!
Help please! So my 370z has CEL on with random misfire code P0300 with high idle of 1000 RPM at cold start. I've changed sparkplugs, welded a crack in the catalyst converter, cleaned air intake filters and CEL didn't go away. What's your advice for the next steps? Should I change coil pack, fuel filter, and camshaft position sensors? Thanks
@@brandontran5160 If the idle will not return to 'normal' with some runtime, also with a multi cylinder misfire code, I would expect you have a vacuum leak somewhere. That would be the first thing to rule out anyway if there are no other codes. The crack in the cat also suggests maybe (not always) but that it could have experienced excessive heat which is another symptom of a vacuum leak, if the mixture is lean it will increase the exhaust gas temp. This can be hard on an engine if it is a large enough leak to keep the condition lean during heavy loads. There isn't a lot of information in this post to draw any more conclusions, but I would start it and let it idle, listen around the engine bay for sucking sounds, review the vacuum lines for integrity and make sure all are attached where needed. Sometimes during service a line can be left off and it is a simple as reattaching. Google the year of your car, model and 'vacuum diagram', it's likely you will find a diagram with the lines to check.
@@moparmadness74dodge So I replaced the camshaft sensors. Now my 370z is sluggish and can't go pass 2200 rpm. I checked again and it still give me code P0300 plus new code P0011 and bank 1. I reset CEL and it works sometimes and I could drive pass 2200 rpm but the CEL keeps flashing while driving. Does that mean I need to change ignition coil on bank 1? Thanks
@@brandontran5160 p0011 indicates that the cam timing is more advanced than what the ECM has commanded. Not following the idea of an ignition coil being an issue, perhaps you have an issue with a cam phaser. I’m not that familiar with a 370z or the issues that they commonly experience. Some out there saying it could be the cam phase sensor itself.
My VAG (Skoda Kodiaq) vehicle gave the error code P0300-00. Without even testing the battery, the authorized service changed the spark plugs. Then they told me that they would remove the cylinder head and clean the valves ($1100). I didn't really believe this situation since the vehicle was working fine. Shortly after, other problems started in the vehicle 1- the horn does not work occasionally 2- the start stop gives an error 3- the cruise control did not engage. 4- It was difficult to start even though I drove for a long time. Finally, a warning came that the vehicle's battery was lower than 12V. The battery was dead. I had it changed. The warnings stopped for now.
Decent explanation but $60/40 labour to change each spark plug? That's insane. It should take less than half an hour on the majority of cars to change ALL plugs.
That caught my eye/ear too. He shouldnt list "per plug" but he is about right on the costs and even under in some cases. All three of the vehicles we have require the removal of the intake manifold to access all the plugs. Just about any modern V6 or smaller is going to be like that. It took me the better part of two hours to do them on a 2013 Town & Country...and you know book rate will be at least double that. At just $90 an hour you're looking at probably at least 3.5 hours on book rate and if you figure 6 plug you are at $52.5 per so yeah, that's probably about right.
On a 4 cylinder yes, but on a v6 it’s a pain in butt sometimes. My Chevy s10, 4.3 has a spark plug right behind the drive shaft. It took all day to get the wires and plugs out
My truck has been at the ford dealership service Dept for almost two weeks for this issue . They refuse to do it this way and no one knows what’s wrong . I am without a 2018 raptor and have been renting a car and it’s costing a fortune . What should I do ? They won’t listen to me and watch these videos .
Faulty catalytic converter(s) that are also causing misfires due to back pressure, overheating, faulty o2 readings downstream etc… Basically, bad cats. Grab some cataclean from the store and see if that fixes it.
Bro them prices are insane. You getting your work done in a Bentley in Beverly Hills? Lol. It literally took me 15mins to change all 4 of my injectors. $40-60 each if u get from auto dealer. Maybe 150 if you have a serious sport car.
I'm in the same boat 2010 Yukon v8 6.2 I changed .. Fuel pump Crank shaft sensore New plugs n wires New maf sensore New throttle body 3 ignition coils... Still miss fireing...wtf ? I don't know what else to do..also had converters checked ..all is well But still misfires...what else is there?...anybody 🤨
Right now, I have a Mechanic telling me that my PentaStar is looking at a $5500 CDN repair. Called out my tensioners and everything around timing of my Cams. At 275k kms, I told him to look for an engine. Not happy with my Jeep at all. 2020, tranny and rear diff because the frequency dampener came off my driveshaft while on the highway. $10 k for that, and now another $10 k. JUST EMPTY EVERY POCKET!
Fixed a f150 with a P0300 and multiple misfire codes for all cylinders. 96 straight 6 low data rate misfire monitor and a stick transmission. It was the Ujoints. They were binding and slowing and speeding up the engine causing the misfire codes.
Can anyone tell me if misfiring cylinders can cause an engine to seize? I have a 4 cylinder honda; the engine seized a couple of days after I had the scan done.
Almost everything was reasonable except the piece about the battery being strong enough to start the engine but too weak to run the spark plugs. That's nonsense.
So 02 Cadillac Deville 4.6 Northstar v8 has a misfire runs fine cold once it heats up boom misfire , I've changed maf ,map, tps, plugs , i take gasket intake boot , no vacuum leaks ,put another fuel pressure regulator on also , any ideas?
i got this code on 98 tacoma, after reading some comments if a battery had to do something with it, I was skeptical too, and after watching an Scotty video he mention that a bad battery can affect the computer and send all kinds of codes , in my case i cleaned the terminal connectors , and after 300 miles no codes so far
See at least one problem, the battery main use is to start the vehicle once vehicle is running the alternator does the power to electrical system not the battery hence cranking amps the ability to crank over the engine
Can a accidental downshift cause this light to trigger? My CE light turned on an turned back off hours later the same day, I downshifted to 1st going 20 mph..smh
Only problem is most cars now a days the voltage regulator is computer controlled like with Honda and the ELD in the underhood fuse box, it reports to the ECU to tell it what to do as for charging the field of the Alternator to put less load on the engine. Turning on thing's like headlights and blower motors should make the ELD tell the ECU to crank up voltage from the Alternator and if it doesn't you could get the wrong reading
I have a 2000 JEEP Grand Cherokee with the 4.0L Straight 6 and when starting it up sometimes it will have a really nasty misfire and if I just rev it up or just start driving you can hear when the other cylinders actually start firing. I have codes P0138,P0300 has anyone else had the same issue as well??? I've changed plugs and didn't really help then I bought the coil pack and yes its the weird one where you get all 6 on a long bar. When I replaced that my JEEP would not run at all. So I put the old one back on and it ran fine other than the misfire once in a while. Its not every time I start it just when it wants to be stubborn. Any ideas anybody??

Well i have the P0300 and the P0122 code which is for the tps sensor which i replaced because it came with the new throttle body i just put on along with spark plugs wires coils 02 sensors map sensor iac valve air filter fuel filter and fuel pump. I have an 02 buick century with over 250,000 miles it idles low and high
Battery? Don't you have an alternator
My problem ended up being the oxygen sensors had three of them ended up changing all three solved the misfire.
I kept getting the P135B code on my 17 Traverse. I had a hunch it was spark plug related. Shop couldn’t find anything wrong or misfires. Today it started throwing P0300 codes. Putting new spark plugs in now. Will update later . Thx!!!!
Results?
“The labour which could be 40-60$ per spark plug” yeah bud this isnt the video im gonna watch
What if it’s bad fuel do you just drive it until it’s almost empty then refill different gas?
Absolutely right ...
@@DevilsLuck777 agree ... Seafoam is a good creation to clean up fuel systems
So, is it the P0300 that caused the P0014 code on my 2014 Nissan Rogue, or other way around? I’ve read so many different opinions and fixes here on UA-cam that I don’t know what to believe anymore. Some videos talk about replacing camshaft, VVT sensors. Vehicle has 101,000 Kms, so I guess I can start with a new set of Iridium spark plugs, even though original ones are supposed to go to 160,000 Kms.
Thanks.
2:10 in the video, the issue with a vacuum leak is going to be a lean condition which means insufficient fuel, too much oxygen for the mixture as another way of saying it. I would recommend a correction to the video.
You are absolutely right! The guy is this video said it wrong! A vacuum leak would cause excess oxygen as it would be sucking in more air thus throwing off the air fuel mixture and causing a lean condition!
Help please! So my 370z has CEL on with random misfire code P0300 with high idle of 1000 RPM at cold start. I've changed sparkplugs, welded a crack in the catalyst converter, cleaned air intake filters and CEL didn't go away. What's your advice for the next steps? Should I change coil pack, fuel filter, and camshaft position sensors? Thanks
@@brandontran5160 If the idle will not return to 'normal' with some runtime, also with a multi cylinder misfire code, I would expect you have a vacuum leak somewhere. That would be the first thing to rule out anyway if there are no other codes. The crack in the cat also suggests maybe (not always) but that it could have experienced excessive heat which is another symptom of a vacuum leak, if the mixture is lean it will increase the exhaust gas temp. This can be hard on an engine if it is a large enough leak to keep the condition lean during heavy loads.
There isn't a lot of information in this post to draw any more conclusions, but I would start it and let it idle, listen around the engine bay for sucking sounds, review the vacuum lines for integrity and make sure all are attached where needed. Sometimes during service a line can be left off and it is a simple as reattaching.
Google the year of your car, model and 'vacuum diagram', it's likely you will find a diagram with the lines to check.
@@moparmadness74dodge So I replaced the camshaft sensors. Now my 370z is sluggish and can't go pass 2200 rpm. I checked again and it still give me code P0300 plus new code P0011 and bank 1. I reset CEL and it works sometimes and I could drive pass 2200 rpm but the CEL keeps flashing while driving. Does that mean I need to change ignition coil on bank 1? Thanks
@@brandontran5160 p0011 indicates that the cam timing is more advanced than what the ECM has commanded.
Not following the idea of an ignition coil being an issue, perhaps you have an issue with a cam phaser.
I’m not that familiar with a 370z or the issues that they commonly experience. Some out there saying it could be the cam phase sensor itself.
My VAG (Skoda Kodiaq) vehicle gave the error code P0300-00. Without even testing the battery, the authorized service changed the spark plugs. Then they told me that they would remove the cylinder head and clean the valves ($1100). I didn't really believe this situation since the vehicle was working fine.
Shortly after, other problems started in the vehicle
1- the horn does not work occasionally
2- the start stop gives an error
3- the cruise control did not engage.
4- It was difficult to start even though I drove for a long time.
Finally, a warning came that the vehicle's battery was lower than 12V. The battery was dead. I had it changed. The warnings stopped for now.
Decent explanation but $60/40 labour to change each spark plug? That's insane. It should take less than half an hour on the majority of cars to change ALL plugs.
Do it yourself then?
That caught my eye/ear too. He shouldnt list "per plug" but he is about right on the costs and even under in some cases. All three of the vehicles we have require the removal of the intake manifold to access all the plugs. Just about any modern V6 or smaller is going to be like that. It took me the better part of two hours to do them on a 2013 Town & Country...and you know book rate will be at least double that. At just $90 an hour you're looking at probably at least 3.5 hours on book rate and if you figure 6 plug you are at $52.5 per so yeah, that's probably about right.
On a 4 cylinder yes, but on a v6 it’s a pain in butt sometimes. My Chevy s10, 4.3 has a spark plug right behind the drive shaft. It took all day to get the wires and plugs out
😅 yeah, BUT on this one you actually bbw l need to pull the engine forward in order to be able to reach back there.
I got an xterra, and I had to dig to get to my spark plugs. Mechanic said it would be $600, I spent $100 and a weekend instead lol😂
i have multiple miss fires i have changed spark plugs and coils but have a evap leak would thta cause it
I got this code on a new car at 161 miles. Dealership mechanic said it's because of car's computer or bad fuel (car was sitting on lot for long time).
Sorry to hear that - have you gotten the problem resolved?
Even a bad transmission filter can make your vehicle run ruff, or say a bad catalytic converter.
Bro is not easy to change the 2013 jeep grand Cherokee battery is under the seat 😂
My truck has been at the ford dealership service Dept for almost two weeks for this issue . They refuse to do it this way and no one knows what’s wrong . I am without a 2018 raptor and have been renting a car and it’s costing a fortune . What should I do ? They won’t listen to me and watch these videos .
Take it out of the dealership and find a competent mechanic.
So what if your p0300 is accompanied by p0420 and 0430?
Did you ever get an answer to that ? Have the same codes
DId u get answer?
Faulty catalytic converter(s) that are also causing misfires due to back pressure, overheating, faulty o2 readings downstream etc… Basically, bad cats. Grab some cataclean from the store and see if that fixes it.
Bro them prices are insane. You getting your work done in a Bentley in Beverly Hills? Lol. It literally took me 15mins to change all 4 of my injectors. $40-60 each if u get from auto dealer. Maybe 150 if you have a serious sport car.
A vacuum leak causes too much oxygen.
I’ve already charged all spark plugs, ignition coils, and just changed the camshaft position sensors today in the morning
And ??
its still broken.... =/ thats why he hasnt commented
@@ZAKU-GD yep has to take my loss
@@ZAKU-GD even the dealership couldn’t figure out
I'm in the same boat
2010 Yukon v8 6.2
I changed ..
Fuel pump
Crank shaft sensore
New plugs n wires
New maf sensore
New throttle body
3 ignition coils...
Still miss fireing...wtf ?
I don't know what else to do..also had converters checked ..all is well
But still misfires...what else is there?...anybody 🤨
Right now, I have a Mechanic telling me that my PentaStar is looking at a $5500 CDN repair. Called out my tensioners and everything around timing of my Cams. At 275k kms, I told him to look for an engine. Not happy with my Jeep at all. 2020, tranny and rear diff because the frequency dampener came off my driveshaft while on the highway. $10 k for that, and now another $10 k. JUST EMPTY EVERY POCKET!
The spark plug was upside down in the diagram😂
Fixed a f150 with a P0300 and multiple misfire codes for all cylinders. 96 straight 6 low data rate misfire monitor and a stick transmission. It was the Ujoints. They were binding and slowing and speeding up the engine causing the misfire codes.
Can anyone tell me if misfiring cylinders can cause an engine to seize? I have a 4 cylinder honda; the engine seized a couple of days after I had the scan done.
@Andrew Dean Thank you. I thought the guy who sold me the car was just unloading a problem on to me; turns out I got a hole in the oil pan somehow....
$40 - $60 to change a spark plug, that's a RIP OFF, they take less than 3 minutes each to change
Almost everything was reasonable except the piece about the battery being strong enough to start the engine but too weak to run the spark plugs. That's nonsense.
intake compression power and exhaust!
So 02 Cadillac Deville 4.6 Northstar v8 has a misfire runs fine cold once it heats up boom misfire , I've changed maf ,map, tps, plugs , i take gasket intake boot , no vacuum leaks ,put another fuel pressure regulator on also , any ideas?
Could be a burned valve. A compression test would be in order.
Yep same damn boat replaced EVERYTHING SMH
You forgot to mention the throttle body and sensor.
i got this code on 98 tacoma, after reading some comments if a battery had to do something with it, I was skeptical too, and after watching an Scotty video he mention that a bad battery can affect the computer and send all kinds of codes , in my case i cleaned the terminal connectors , and after 300 miles no codes so far
I have a misfire on 1 and 2
Me gustaría oírlo en español gracias
Ain't the fixed sensor just going to say "multiple misfires p0300" basically what we already know
I got this code on my mustang 5.0. Everytime the check engine light blinks the car stalls n u can hear it n when I try to hit the gas it goes nowhere.
Did anyone else notice the injector?
Clearly a 6.0 powerstroke diesel HEUI fuel injector
Will I pass the state (California) Smog test with this code? if there is nothing else wrong and no Check engine light?
See at least one problem, the battery main use is to start the vehicle once vehicle is running the alternator does the power to electrical system not the battery hence cranking amps the ability to crank over the engine
Mine sounds like a dying lawn mower... Happened out of nowhere sigh
Ok, is Scotty Kilmer mecanico at large your Dad 🙃🤣🙊
I completely agree but what about when it comes to diesel engines?!
Fool
Maaan I don’t know what it is and deff don’t got the monies to fix every issue
P0300, rough idle, no check engine light on. 2003 Tahoe Z71
Thank you

Can a accidental downshift cause this light to trigger? My CE light turned on an turned back off hours later the same day, I downshifted to 1st going 20 mph..smh
I had got a error code P0300
Would a mass air flow sensor, or even a bad MAP sensor have anything to do with misfires?
I'm in the same boat , replaced map,maf,tps, filter, everything still there
Alternator??
How can I get FIXD for detector For transmission
The valves in the carton engine doing intake and exhaust valves opened the wrong way
Mine was valve cover gasket leak
Oil in silo
I just changed all my spark plugs and now my engine runs perfect again.
I change my spark plugs and cables and still shows p0300😬
Mogon G may have to change the coils
@@mogong7260 coils
@@mogong7260 Before changing them first test them. You dont always have to replace them all.
@@mogong7260 Could be a bad fuel injector. You should have a shop perform a fuel injection cleaning.
Thanks very much. You speak my language.
You guys are like donut. I dig it.
They're trying to be 👀
Only problem is most cars now a days the voltage regulator is computer controlled like with Honda and the ELD in the underhood fuse box, it reports to the ECU to tell it what to do as for charging the field of the Alternator to put less load on the engine. Turning on thing's like headlights and blower motors should make the ELD tell the ECU to crank up voltage from the Alternator and if it doesn't you could get the wrong reading
I have a 2000 JEEP Grand Cherokee with the 4.0L Straight 6 and when starting it up sometimes it will have a really nasty misfire and if I just rev it up or just start driving you can hear when the other cylinders actually start firing. I have codes P0138,P0300 has anyone else had the same issue as well??? I've changed plugs and didn't really help then I bought the coil pack and yes its the weird one where you get all 6 on a long bar. When I replaced that my JEEP would not run at all. So I put the old one back on and it ran fine other than the misfire once in a while. Its not every time I start it just when it wants to be stubborn. Any ideas anybody??
Check the compression first. Then look t the fuel injectors. Could also be bad ignition timing due to a worn timing chain.
What about clogged catalytic manifold
Timing
This could be my problem a new timing chain
Can extreme cold (-8 F) cause an engine to misfire when first started?
Maybe a leaking intake manifold...
Probably needed that how to make friends video more 😂😂😂😂🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️ Thanks for all the info SUPA helpful
New subscriber here 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
It’s hard to make friends now in these days 😷
I can not find how to check my battery in the app
Fuel filter replace 2008 Wrangler
Did not know about the battery causing misfires
It's not always common knowledge!
Fuel filter is Rusted on.. Next guess haha
Pray it’s the battery 😂😂😂
Or wrong air in tires
You are too funny! Thanks! You helped me a lot!
Glad to hear it! Thanks for watching!
You never mention the distributor. Replacing my rotor and tightening my loose cap got rid of the code po300
Loose gas cap? Or..?
@@nazareta6541 he's referring to the distributor cap, it's usually on older vehicles
Nice my friend blessings
O2 sensors?
Great video
