Runs fine for 3 miles then chk engine light flashes and it losses all power

Possible engine module going bad . Any recent work on the engine ?

run the fault codes and look for a sensor that has activated the rpm limiter

P0304 is a misfire on cly. #4. Pull the plug and see if there is a lot of oil that may be fouling it out. If you are burning oil, one thing you can do is switch to synthetic. Synthetic oil will not burn and it can minimize the loss.


Also if you only replaced one coil pac, you may have a problem there, but that is remote since each coil runs two cylinders and you only have a cly.#4 code.

Hope this helps.

Your cat is plugged, its not letting your exhaust leave the engine thus causing all these problems. You need to get it changed as soon as possible. You can get a shop to put in a universal one they are usually very cheep but do it soon. They can get hot enough to start a fire as you have already seen.
