If the compression is good in that cylinder, I’m with Anthony on the Fuel injector assuming your
Sure you changed the #5 cylinder plug and coil. If you have a noid light you can check to see that the injector is getting pulse and the compression test out within a few pounds of the other cylinders. If it’s low in that cylinder it will cause a misfire. In that case it could be a worn cam lobe, stuck or not seating valve. If the valve was stuck you’d have some rocker arm noise tho.

If all above fails. Compression test. A valve may be stuck and wont have compression.

Depending on ease of the job check to make sure you have power to cylinder 5 injector using an injector noid tester if the power is there then remove the rail and swop injector 5 for the one next to it and run up if fault has moved from 5 replace injector.

You may have a bad fuel filter, a bad injector(dirty). Or something more serious. I would check fuel if you have good spark now. Good luck!

2002 freelander cylinders 4and5 misfiring codes

Land Rover Freelander
P0304 AND P0305<<<<<< no engine told at all. a V6 of sorts.?
ONLY>?
misfire on OBD2 means, only weak combustion pressures there.
or weak power from those 2. only
causes are manifold.
  1. bad spark plugs there. (i bet all)
  2. bad /weak injectors there.
  3. weak compression on this 2, (a tool tests this)
  4. burned head valves there.
  5. blown head-gasket between 4 to 5 (I6) (NO)
  6. vacuum leaks (air) to #4 of #5 via intake man or injector seals.
  7. bad spark coils. or boots on there tips a carbon wreck.
  8. worse deeper engine issues, cam lobes, a mess. or piston rings.
wild guess is this your engine?
2.5-litre V6 Rover KV6 Engine petrol (2001-2006), badged as 'V6'
24-valve quad-cam DOHC.
and horrid belt drive cams super hard to fix. lacking custom tools.
Firing order. 1-6-5-4-3-2
1, 3 and 5 starting at the front of the engine. left-hand bank
means even odd banks.
means head gasket can not do #5 act this V6 not I6
why do a tuneup, 100k miles , new spark plugs and boots on COPs
there are 6 cops there, COIL OVER PLUGS.
The boots can be replaced cheap, on tips and new spark plugs
gapped to spec.
USA.(answers)

as you see COP 4 AND 5 DO NOT SHARE SPARK COILS.

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.

"I have a 2006 Nissan Pathfinder 4.0 V6... Had ECU replaced . Now is throwing a random misfire code P300... what are these code and can one cause the other? Help!"

code p300 refers to random/multiple misfires--misfire detected==causes--spark plugs--HT leads --injectors--ignition coils--low compression--wiring
If you are only now experiencing the problem after changing the ECU, I would suspect that wiring and connections to the new ECU may not have been fitted properly. There may be problems in the ECU CPU (chip) and it may be necessary to use a scanner to reset the CPU program to recognize the sensors of the vehicle correctly

My 2002 nissan infinity I35 V6 vibrates when starts. The timing seems to be of . The diagnose is that #5 cylinder is misfiring. Mechanic said its the ignition coil. I replace the ignition coil on #5...

Well, you could replace the other coils but most people wait for them to fail first.
If you replaced the coil and spark plug and the miss is still happening, it could be a faulty injector or valve problem.
The code is saying that cylinder has no power, not that it has no spark.

How do I change the sparks plug for my 2000 Pathfinder?

Remove the air duct on the engine and Disconnect the harness and brackets around the ignition coil and remove the ignition coil. Unscrew and remove the spark plug and replace it with new spark plug in to the cylinder well and tighten it. Make sure to adjust the tension of spark plug as per the specification of spark plug manufacturer.

2002 ford escape.....truck started sputtering and would not accelerate very fast and check engine light started blinking. what could it be?

I have an 2002 Escape with a 3.0L engine.
First you need to get a OBD2 scan for the check engine code.
I suspect the code will tell you that one of the cylinders is misfiring.
If you also have the V6 engine, the most common cause of misfire is one of the Coil-Over-Plugs (COP). Each cylinder has a COP on the spark plug.
On the V6, you need to remove the upper intake manifold to get the back 3 COPs.
If you have a V6, and you have cylinder misfire, I recommend replacing all the plugs and coils.

I have had 2 COPs go bad. The second time, I replaced all of them.

Removing the intake is fairly easy if you have some repair experience. You need to get an intake gasket set for about $10-15.
The coils run +$75 each for OEM. I went with Ebay aftermarket; 6 coils for about $80.
I recommend replacing the plugs with the exact same brand as original. There is no miracle plug that will give you better performance or mileage. Stay original.

sounds like spark plug coil is bad. had the same problem on my truck also. check wich cylinder is misfiring and replace the coil and maybe the plug also. if the plug looks good leave it. autozone can give you a read out. when checking the coil, if it has a rust color to it its bad and needs to be replaced. 02 z28
