Obd indicates vaccum leak causing misfire on cylinder 2

If you're still experiencing a cylinder 2 misfire in your 2013 Dodge Avenger 3.6L V6 after replacing the coils, spark plugs, and wires, there are a few potential causes to consider: 1. Fuel Injector Issue: A malfunctioning or clogged fuel injector can cause a misfire in a specific cylinder. Check the fuel injector for cylinder 2 and ensure it is functioning properly. It may require cleaning or replacement. 2. Compression Problem: Low compression in cylinder 2 can lead to a misfire. Perform a compression test to check the compression levels in all cylinders. If cylinder 2 shows significantly lower compression, it may indicate issues with the valves, piston rings, or cylinder head gasket. 3. Ignition Timing: Incorrect ignition timing can cause misfires. Ensure the ignition timing is set correctly according to the manufacturer's specifications. 4. Vacuum Leak: A vacuum leak near cylinder 2 can disrupt the air-fuel mixture and lead to a misfire. Inspect the vacuum lines and intake manifold for any leaks or loose connections. 5.Engine Control Module (ECM) Issue: A faulty ECM can incorrectly trigger a misfire code. Consider having the ECM scanned for any error codes or anomalies related to cylinder 2.

Being 1996 was the first year for OBD 2 Systems
You have at least some scan tool data IF you have a professional
scan tool

You have all YOU will ever need on the internet IF you know how to
ask the right questions

You can spend a lifetime looking at,printing & studying anything
about any subject

I suggest you first study OBD 2 Systems
Then the individual Components
Then get to how to test for cylinder misfires

To find out about codes

TYPE: OBD & the code ---- that easy

OBD PO300 (never need help again)

bad senser or computer

P0302 is a misfire in cylinder #2. When was the last time you changed spark plugs? That's the most common cause of a misfire.

these indicate a misfire on cylinders 2 and 5 the code 300 is random misfire.does the car need a tune-up plug,wires, the fuel injection system need cleaning,also there could be a intake vacuum leak with the intake gasket leaking causing the misfire near these cylinders.

mass air and tps would be 2 most common causes.

OBD II 300 Random/Multiple Cylinder Misfire Detected

When the misfire monitor detects a misfire, it will trigger the check engine light with the specific cylinder number as the last digit in the P030X code. For instance cylinder 1 misfire is P0301, cylinder 2 is P0302 etc. In this case we have either multiple cylinders misfiring, or the computer simply can't determine the specific cylinder, and as such we are left with the P0300 in computer memory.

Possible Causes:

Fuel injectors, related wiring, sensors and computer issues
Running out of gas, or poor fuel quality
Evaporative emissions system (EVAP) concerns: fuel vapors leaking into engine
Incorrect Fuel Pressure
EGR system concerns: leaking EGR valve or restricted ports
Base engine concerns: low compression, valve train problems and timing issues
Ignition system concerns including, but not limited to:
Faulty spark plugs
Faulty coil or related wiring
Ignition module or related wiring issues
Ignition related sensor faults or wiring issues

this car has what is called coil over ignition which means no plug wires or cap so if it is missing swap coil from cyl 2 and any other cyl then clear code and rerun car till light comes back on then check code if it is still cyl 2 missfire then replace that plug if code changes to the cylinder that 2's coil was on then replace that coil <that car does have a recall for coils> if car is not missing and you have that code most likely isnt an ignition problem but will have a small vaccume leak so check the small hoses for leaks. very common for fuel preasure regulater vaccume hose to brake from age

sounds like the coil pack is the primary suspect here ..especially if your miss is migrating to cylinder#2 now....other issue possible...do a compression test...head gasket failure losing compression between #1 and #2 ....also..and specifically for *other user* comment... check function of EGR valve for vacuum leak into intake causing stumble misfire shudder and engine dying issues
