Tech notes
The P0305 code means that the cylinder 5 is misfiring or is randomly misfiring. Start by checking for intake leaks an if no leaks are found the next step is to replace the spark plugs on cylinder 5. If the problem persist more tests needs to be done to diagnose problem, see "Possible Causes"

P0305 Jaguar Description

When a misfire occurs, engine speed will fluctuate. If the engine speed fluctuates enough to cause the Crankshaft Position (CKP) sensor signal to vary, the Engine Control Module (ECM) can determine that a misfire is occurring.

I get codes p305p and p305 0n my 2002 chevy tahoe 4wd 4.8ltre

Hello,
Your question lists codes p305p, and p305, which are not valid codes. Did you mean P0305? This is a diagnostic code referring to a misfire on cylinder #5. It looks like you've replaced parts that could be causing a misfire, but did not fix the problem.

A simple check to verify your misfire is not being caused by an ignition coil (the 4.8 liter engine has a coil-near-plug system, with one coil for each spark plug) is to swap the suspect coil (cylinder #5) with a coil from a different cylinder on your engine.

Cylinder #5 is the third one back from the front of the engine on the driver side of the engine. After you swap coils between a good cylinder and #5 cylinder, clear the codes and see if the misfire followed the coil- if a misfire code sets on the cylinder you moved the cylinder #5 coil to, you know the coil has a problem. That will at least help you rule out the remainder of the ignition system.

2002 Buick Century Limited 3.1L rough idle and P305 code shows up

You have an interference motor. If you had to replace the heads due to the valves possibly touching the motor, you have to consider rechecking the compression after you replaced the heads. I had the same motor that had an intake leak. I found frozen rings on the number 1 piston as well as a bent pushrod. Ultimately, the camshaft had broken due to coolant getting to the bearings. If the spark is good, the fuel is good, then the only other problem you'd have would be compression.

2001 mercury grand marquis reading code p305 misfire, spark plugs and coils changed

If you changed the #5 Coil then the code was wrong

You get lots of wrong codes on a ford, as a bad coil
spikes the pcm when grounding out to fire the coils
secondary side

Try putting the old coil back & walking the new one to
another cylinder,may take many days & many miles of
driving to get it fix,but better than a shop guessing, because
they hate fords

yeah, it is time to replace your cylinder, because the P300 meansRandom/Multiple Cylinder Misfire Detected, the P303 means Cylinder 3 Misfire Detected, the P305 means Cylinder 5 Misfire Detected.

P305 code we have changed the spark plugs and wires we have replaced the fuel filter and had diagnostics done on the car and the mechanic says there is nothing wrong with the cyclinders

This is what all should be checked:
P0305 indicates the PCM has detected misfires on cylinder number five.
Here are six common problems that may cause OBD trouble code P0305:
  1. Fouled, cracked, worn or otherwise misfiring spark plug (Replaced)
  2. Bad ignition wire - burnt, cracked, carbon tracked wire or plug boot (Replaced)
  3. Defective ignition components - ignition module, ignition coil, distributor cap, etc..
  4. Vacuum leaks
  5. Clogged or otherwise defective fuel injector
  6. Internal mechanical engine fault, ie., low cylinder compression, bad valve, collapsed lifter, etc..
The aforementioned list covers the most common causes of P0305 in the order we feel is most likely to occur based on our past experiences. Certainly, each situation is different and there are other possible causes for cylinder misfires. Here are other causes we've seen (in no particular order).
  • Low fuel pressure
  • Leaking fuel pressure regulator
  • Poor fuel quality - water in gas tank
  • Uneven EGR flow caused by carbon build-up on engine with multiple EGR ports
  • loose or corroded fuel injector wiring
There seems to be a few things that have yet to be checked by your mechanic.
I know it is frustrating when the OBDII codes don't point you directly to the problem. To be hones this is something that I can not solve from here. However I hope that with the above information you can get your misfire detected code to go away after the real problem is discovered.

01 dodge dekota 4.7L misfire on cylinder one only

depending on what kind of of scanner you used for codes,
cylinder #5,doesn't always mean cylinder #5,
it sometimes means the fifth cylinder in the firing order.
Chrysler's DRB scanner would give us the exact cylinder,
if you connect your scanner again see if you can watch the misfire counts happening,if you can pull a wire of off a different cylinder and see what cylinder the scanner calls it.
