1998 Honda Civic Logo
Anonymous Posted on Jun 30, 2009

1998 Honda Civic 1.6 5 speed - Error codes: po300, po302, p0304. Fuel pump pressure at idle = 35, higher rpm's around 45. Replaced plugs, wires, distributor cap, rotor, and fuel filter. Cleaned the fuel injectors. Idles perfectly after a cold start. Will run fine intermittently. Seems to misfire under load. Reminds me of the way a bad accelerator pump on an engine with a carburetor would act while accelerating. It will maintain a constant speed (had it up to 75) without a misfire until the load increases due to a hill, etc. After several miles, it will no longer idle, wants to stall but will easily restart.

2003 acura tl error codes po301 po302 po304 po306 p1399 po300

PO300 and P1399 are random cylinder misfire detected.
PO301 cylinder 1 misfire
PO302 cylinder 2 misfire
PO304 cylinder 4 misfire
PO306 cylinder 6 misfire
I would say that you have damage to the ignition wiring harness or you ECM is failing.

02 hyundai accent engine quit running won t start codes come up po300 po301 po302 not familiar with 4 cylnders when turning over sounds like no compression

codes p 0300 is random misfires and codes p0301,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 are the cylinders that are misfiring
so un you statement the problem cylinders are 1 and 2
misfires are normally problem injectors and low fuel pressures so have the fuel pressure checked to make sure that the pump is running correctly, the pressure regulator is operating correctly ans the EVAP system is venting the tank correctly
use a couple of injector cleaner in the tank to clean the injectors

P0304 honda civic

P0304 Cylinder no. 4-Misfire Detected

This means that a plug, wire to the plug, or a fuel injector is not firing on this cylinder, or the compression is dead on it (not likely).

Honda 98 civic...check engine light came on P0304? how do i fix this car is running but it idles low and seems want to die down on me if driving it slow but on freeway it runs okey...my mechanic told me...

A P0304 code means that the car's computer has detected that one of the engine's cylinders is not firing properly. In this case it's cylinder #4.

A code P0304 may mean that one or more of the following has happened:

Faulty spark plug or wire
Faulty coil (pack)
Faulty oxygen sensor(s)
Faulty fuel injector
Burned exhaust valve
Faulty catalytic converter(s)
Running out of fuel
Poor compression
Defective computer

If there are no symptoms, the simplest thing to do is to reset the code and see if it comes back.

If there are symptoms such as the engine is stumbling or hesitating, check all wiring and connectors that lead to the cylinders (i.e. spark plugs). Depending on how long the ignition components have been in the car, it may be a good idea to replace them as part of your regular maintenance schedule. I would suggest spark plugs, spark plug wires, distributor cap, and rotor (if applicable). Otherwise, check the coils (a.k.a. coil packs). In some cases, the catalytic converter has gone bad. If you smell rotten eggs in the exhaust, your cat converter needs to be replaced. I've also heard in other cases the problems were faulty fuel injectors.
