Ck for leak at intake. if no leak pcm/ecm may be sending fire command to slow to # 1 . the fuel injector is always hot the ecm sends a ground to the injector. even new parts can be bad ck inj, with ohm meter resistance should be the same between each inj. im not sure of the specifications but they should read the same my jimmy specs are 1.9-2.1 any other reading is bad . no resistance or lower or higher readings my injector would be bad. 140 is good reading, timing can be off a little and still run but rough like a miss. a code wont set most misfires will set a dtc or flash the engine light to let you know damage to cat system is happening , to much fuel a system rich,to little a lean. a bad mass airflow meter can also cause a misfiring or rough idle ck with scanner if dirty clean with brake cleaner first before replacing . hope this helps some let me know how it goes.

SOURCE: My 1998 Buick LeSabre has a misfire on cylinder

Hi, I would check for a vacume leak around your intake manifold #1 cylinder runner. You can check by using a stethescope with a small piece of brake line in the end of the hose or spraying propane around the intake. If you hit a vacume leak the RPM will drop. Vacume leakes normaly cause a higher RPM at idle.

SOURCE: 95 Mazda b2300 ( Engine code p0320) misfire cyl 2

check the feul injector on that cylinder. use a stethoscope to listen to it. injector should make a clicking noise as it operates. if it doesnt click, check the wiring at the terminal. if the wiring is ok then apply a 9 volt battery to the prongs on the injector to check if it is working or not. if the injector for that cylinder is not operating properly then the cylinder will missfire. if the injector and its wiring is good, check the valve clearance with a feeler gauge and adjust if necessary. if the valves are good then test the compression of the cylinder.

SOURCE: 1994 ranger. 2.3 engine. 8plug model. Dead miss in

According to Gates ( they manufacture timing belts ) the 2.3 L engine in a 1994

Ford Ranger is NOT an interference engine, so the valves would not make contact with the piston.


If you have good spark and compression then replace or service your fuel injector for that cylinder.


A red neck repair is to tap on a long extension touching the fuel injector while the engine is running. It may free up whatever is clogging it....If the injector still functions. Go easy on the cheap plastic that the injector is made of. also check for a good signal to the injector, and look for any corrosion on the plug.

2002 Ford ZX2 301&302codes new timing belt wires

FORD ESCORT.THE TWIN CAM, DOHC.ENGINE.
do not mix up coil pack 4HV wires or wrecks firing order
THE PCM + PACK SETS FIRING ORDER.
WIRED WRONG THERE IS NO RUNNING, ENGINE.
I WILL POST A BETTER PACK FROM NGK
do not change HV wires unless 1 at a time.
if one HV wire fails 2 plugs go dead.
this tech is called wasted spark.
the misfire is real and plug 1 and 3 are dead
flashing CEL means CAT melts next with flood of raw fuel landing on the CAT input.
first learn the 3 rules of spark engines
good engine, 150psi or more, and cam belt not SLIPPED.
next is spark if spark is good fuel is last
cant burn fuel on dead engine or dead spark or timed backwards.
301means weak combustion#1ONLY THAT>
why is next. and that takes tools GOT TOOLS?
99% do not here and want 50 guesses.
if used a timing light (spark tool) and timing is wayoff
the belt was put in wrong
or coil pack wired wrong.,OMG not both, sigh./

Motor will miss at times can see volt meter will drop 1-2 volts when at idle at 35-65 mph a miss or **** off and on fuel new plugs & wires,added fuel treatment,had analized shows no falts

The battery could be gone or you have an
Alternator issue

Any thing added to the fuel tank is not necessary
& just a waste of money. Those products are not
a subsitute for a repair

You do not need new plug wires every time you visit
a repair shop. They last for 15 years if handles correctly

Code claims multiple misfires changed the plugs and it continues to sputter and backfire especially when going uphill. Fuel filter? coil pack? plug wires?

check your high tension leads or plug wires. If you find one out of the correct resistance range, about 7ohms per foot, dont discount that the missfiring has damaged the coil pack for that cylinder as the wasted spark had no where to got except hammering the coil pack. As for the fuel filter refresh them often as the standards of fuel from the pump can vary

Car acts like its sliping or miss fireing when driving

Is the eng, light on, if so use the found codes as a basis. check the fuel system for low fuel pump pressure, clogged fuel filter. If its fine check the exhaust back pressure. Before the cat. pull the O2 sensor
out and install a low pressure gauge to see there is excessive back pressure. more then 5 to 10 PSI would indicate an issue with the CAT.

98Eclipse 2.0 nonTurbo 5speed 180,000 miles ,code PO301

The po301 is a misfire code. The backfire can be caused by a excessive amount of fuel, bad valve timing etc.
My guess is you have damage to an exhaust valve that may have occurred when you had the timing belt problem.A compression test will indicate if you have a leaking exhaust valve.The reason for the backfire is the exhaust valve is still partially open when the spark plug fires.
