These codes are making me lean towards the ignition coil pack.My stepson's 2001 Sable 3.0 v6 had one cylinder misfiring(5-code P0305),which shares a coil with cylinder 1(code P0301).I diagnosed it by trading wire 1 and 5 at the coil,and the code changed to P0301.You have codes for the two cylinders on the same coil,so this is most likely it.(these codes would also trigger P0300(Multiple Misfires Detected) and P0316(Misfire Detected First 1000 Revs)).

SOURCE: po 305 misfire

it is a misfire on cylinder 5 it can be caused by low fuel pressure or a defective coil or bad injector, it could also be valve adjustment on that cylinder. Please rate me for the help I have given and if you need more info just post and I Will answer.

May need to clean the egr valves because if one is stuck then the other bank would be enriched to make up the difference .In order to reset the computer when your done is unhook battery and then reconnect. But realize some radios are subject to needing a code to make them work again because of a theft sensor. Here are some a few sensors and what happens when the don't work right.

ECT sensor
symptoms
Potential Symptoms

Symptoms of a P0118 could include:

* Very poor fuel economy
* A no start condition
* Vehicle may start, but run very poorly, blowing black smoke, running very rough and misfiring
* Illumination of MIL

TPS sensor

Symptoms of a P0121 trouble code could include:

* Malfunction Indicator Lamp
(MIL) illumination (Check Engine Light or Service Engine Soon light)
* Intermittent stumble on acceleration or deceleration
* Blows black smoke on acceleration
* No start

EGR valve

Usually a fault in the control circuit, will leave no noticeable symptoms other than the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) illumination. However, if the EGR control solenoid
is stuck open due to debris, etc. the code may be accompanied by misfire under acceleration, rough idle, or engine dying altogether.

po171

You will more than likely not notice any drivability problems, although there may be symptoms such as a lack of power, detonation (spark knock), and/or a hesitation/surge on acceleration.
Causes

A code P0171 may mean that one or more of the following has happened:

* The MAF (Mass Air Flow) Sensor is dirty or faulty. Note: The use of "oiled" air filters may cause the MAF to become dirty if the filter is over-oiled. There is also an issue with some vehicles where the MAF sensors leak the silicone potting material used to protect the circuitry.
* There could be a vacuum leak downstream of the MAF sensor.


These are the main ones

Had a small miss at idle. I change plugs and wires now misses worse at idle and in park dont much in gear. 2000 ford limited v6

Make sure you don't have wire cross. Next it should be an OBDll have it scanned at auto parts store .a misfire code will be a po 300 code and up the last # is what cylinder you are having trouble with (po301=cylinder #1 and so on.

I have a 03 ford explorer codes p0307 p0316 what could cause that injects good

You have to use Google to find your codes
& study OBD2 Systems
Forget the PO316
The PO 301 thru PO 308 are engine cylinder misfires
On a 2003 --11 year old ford veh you replace ALL
8 COP Ignition Coils
They only last about 6 to 7 years
Some will set a PO300 code
Some with set lots of codes even with just one bad coil
Some coils are so bad they will shut the engine off anytime
& any where under any conditions or temp
There are alos 3 or more ways to diagnose the coils
With no experience & over 7 years on them,buy all 8 coils
from Rock Auto & replace
Also the front Oxygen Sensors get replaced at 100,000
The last number as in your 307 is cylinder #7
Some fords you have
A,B,C,D,E, etc
1,2,3,4,5 etc
PO 301,302,303,304 etc
All 3 examples are the same thing or cylinders

2004 ford escape with codes po316 and po 305

PO305 Miss nr 5 cyl. PO316 Miss in first 1000 revelutions after start. Check Nr 5 cylinder plug, plug lead or coil over plug or nr 5 coil. Not sure what system that has. I suggest replace plug regardless but look at plug for track marks down side of plug & worn electrode etc... if all ok there check nr 5 injector.

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...

Scanner is showing code p0316. Misfire first 1000 revs. What can cause this?

A cylinder misfire

Forget the PO316 and 1st 1000 Rev,that is a Ford thing

No other PO Codes? PO 305 for cyl #5?

If you have individual coils (COP Ignition )
one is bad. Last number of a 300 code is the cyl
maybe. Unless it is really bad,then get back here
