SOURCE: engine miss firing

Check compression on engine and if that's good then check injectors(may be bad) . The key to use when checking compression with a compression guage is NOT have your reading be more than psi difference between cylinders. For example is cylinder #1 is 150 psi and cylinder #2 is 172psi then there is a problem like a burnt valve or something . From my experience these types of misses usual come from bad plugs, wires or bad injectors. Good luck and thanks for using FIX YA

PO300 - Random/Multiple Cylinder Misfire Detected

When a misfire occurs, engine speed will fluctuate. If the engine speed fluctuates enough to cause the crankshaft position (CKP) sensor (POS) signal to vary, Powertrain Control Module (PCM) or Electronic Control Module (ECM) can determine that a misfire is occurring.

Causes:
- Improper spark plug
- Insufficient compression
- Incorrect fuel pressure
- The injector circuit is open or shorted
- Fuel injectors may be faulty
- Intake air leak
- The ignition signal circuit is open or shorted

Solutions:
- Perform Injector Service
- Replace Spark Plugs
- Replace Injectors
- Replace Ignition Coils

Cap and rotor

my guess, is you did NOT replace the wires 1by1.
and messed up the firing order. (engine size not posted)
or
you bought one of this china,no-name POS rotors that fit 3 ways?
or the cap is on backwards
or the wire terms(HV) not seated.

ill assume the dizzy was never unbolted.

never power wash an engine, you force water to places that never must be...
let it dry for a day or 2.

what does FIRE to plugs mean.
i used a grounded tests spark plug , at the end of each spark plug
and there is no spark.

i ask that, because some posters say that , but only mean
the cylinders are dead, and call it no fire.
takes spark, compression and injection and timing to fire.
4 things.

Your misfire can be cause by couple of things but the cheapest way that you can try to fix your car is to do a tune up by replacing:
1)all spark plugs
2)do a oil change
3)spark plug wires
3)distributor cap and rotor

note misfire can be cause by:
1.bad gas
2.spark plug and/or wire
3.distributor cap and/or rotor
4.valve adjustment
5.injector
6.off timing
7.ECM
8.bad wiring(power, ground or feed line)

We have changed the plugs in my Echo and it is still miss firing please help. No engine lights have come on

Check the spark plug wires, coil packs or cap & rotor whichever the vehicle is equipped with. Most likely you have a bad wire or coil/cap/rotor. Also check the timing if it is out of adjustment it will cause the engine to misfire.

Egine Code says miss fire block 1. What are we talking about?

I think it means that the number one cylinder is misfiring, which could be spark plug, coil, the plug wire, or the injector. Usually, if the injector is at fault it will have a code for that. Take the spark plug out and check the condition of the plug. If the plug seems alright, swap it with the number 2 spark plug and clear the trouble codes. If the plug was at fault, the computer should throw a code for cylinder 2, if it still throws a code for cylinder 1, then it may be the coil, If the engine has a distributor, change the distributor cap and rotor.

Number 2 spark plug

Are you sure it's the spark plug that's faulty or the ignition wire?? How old are plugs and wires?
If you don't know if it's your spark plug not firing or your ignition wire you could move spark plug to number 1 then check your code reader.
Or you could do an ohms continuity test on your number 2 ignition wire to verify that there is no break in the wire. Common problem to check for. If wires and plugs are old and high mileage maybe should change all including cap and rotor on distributor. Fresh wires plugs cap and rotor always improve mileage and performance.
Good luck, sorry can't help with tranny.

What do these trouble codes mean po306 cyclinder misfire detected .how do i fix the problem?

it means you have a misfire on the number 6 cylinder

this could be caused by a whole lot of reasons.

start by inspecting for a bad plug wire if it has them

check for fire on the cylinder with a spark test tool from local part store

if it is a coil-on-plug set-up, check the coil for fire

replace coil/plug wire as needed, replace boot on coil if coil needed, replace spark plugs

I have a 97 chevy tahoe. I changed the spark plugs, wires, distrubutor cap, rotor. About 300 miles later engine light came on. I thought maybe cheap distrubutor cap and rotor was cheap. I went to auto zone...

the number 6 cylinder is located (if you are looking at it from the front of the car) it is on the left side third cylinder back from the front. you probally have a bad injector that is just dripping fuel into that cylinder.

Check engine light starts blinking going up a incline

You have a cylinder misfire. That is the only thing that will flash the check engine light. With the van running spray the plug wires with water. Watch and listen for arcing. If there is, replace that or all the wires. It is possible for new wires to be bad. Next check the cap and rotor buy spraying them with water, than removing and looking inside for signs of burning or anything that will hinder the spark. Last check the spark plugs for carbon tracking (small black lines in the porcelin), caused buy hair line cracks. If you dont find any thing, check it again. With no other codes it is very unlikley that anything else is causing the misfire.
