Its the coil or the the coilpack harness wires, While your at it, check the part of the wiring harness that goes to your cam position sensor, it going faulty can cause this code.

P2302 ignition coil #1 secondary circuit, insufficient ionization.

This will occur if the PCM (Power Control Module), detects that the secondary ignition burn time is incorrect or not present.

The most common possible causes are faulty spark plugs, ignition wires or ignition coils.

Hope this helps.

    I haven't participated in these forums in a while and just a fluke I saw this but it caught my interest. I haven't participated in these forums in a while and just a fluke I saw this but it caught my interest. My first question is, did you replace the wires as well? I ask because you have plugs listed but no wires and one should never make an assumption.

    Assuming you did I would recheck everything again, for both installation as well as correct replacement part."New does not always mean correct or good". Pull the wires, coils and plugs and visually reinspect everything. Make sure there is nothing too close that could cause a short. I would also check the PCM plugs for any signs of corrosion. I just fixed an issue with a 2004 dodge that traced back to corrosion on a couple of the PCM plugs. You also need to recheck the cam sensor as well. I have seen issues similar to yours that were caused by the sensor becoming loose after a recent replacement. Also if anything was repaired recently before your problem, check that all fuses are correct for it's use. An incorrect fuse in the ASD relay could hurt a PCM and if not changed would do the same for the replacement.

    If everything checks out and you eliminate the obvious.......

    Time for a trip to "Outer Limits" school of automotive repair. This is a long shot but a loose timing chain can allow cam and crank sensors to become out of sync or unrecognized. The PCM needs precise signals.

    Not sure if any of this helps but good luck.

I have a 05 town and country I have put new plugs ,wires,cool pack and fuel pump and I always had a miss then yesterday it started missing so bad u couldn't drive it it is code p2302 and codep2308

Codes translate as.....
P2302 = Ignition Coil "A" Secondary Circuit.
P2308 = Ignition Coil "C" Secondary Circuit.
You have a problem somewhere in the ignition system. 'Cool pack'? Did you mean coil pack?
It would be worth getting a good mechanic to test the fuel injectors as these can sometimes cause this problem.
Your only other option is to get a specialist to test the PCM (The Car's Brain).

Car goes into limp mode, check engine light is on steady. Only drove it about a mile when it came on. Where do I start? Code p2302 comes up

need to know make of vehicle to give an accurrate opinion but this code generally denotes a problem with ignition coil A, secondary circuit , so will need further investigation as to wether a new coil is required or maybe just clearing the code may be all thats required

2008 jeep code p2302 mean

do you want me to guess?
or do you want DIY testing advice.
mean, it means bad spark, from Ign.coil 1, (2 cyl wasted spark)

DIY , actual tests... per FSM. get one.
only 1 code. and comes back after clearing it?
full scan done?
how many miles on it, when was the last full tune up
page 412 opr, guide in glove box , did you do the 102k mile service?
new spark plugs and 6v wire sets? , now be the the time
not a new coil pack that be last choice.

p2 means factory code, and seems your scan tool works right.
many dont. or are blind to them or get them all wrong.

same car as my main car... JK,
i have the full JK, FSM. factory service manual, go it day 2.
the first thing to do, when doing DIY , is to open the hood
and see what engine you have, as diff, engines have diffr, EFI systems.
mine has the Trenton 3.8L V6. with MAP and TBW system.
TBW is throttle by wire. (map sensor is for speed density system)

P2302
P= powertrain
2= jeep private code, not USA fed, spec EPA codes.
3= Fuel and Air Metering (Injector Circuit)
02= Ignition Coil 1 Secondary Circuit- Insufficient Ionization

02= Ignition Coil 1 Secondary Circuit- Insufficient Ionization

this car has a coil pack and is WASTED SPARK
3 coils 6 spark plugs. wasted. (google what that means)
but is important to know because either spark plug can disturb
the current path here.

if my 6v did this, id do the 102k mile service. with NGK parts,.
or Bosch.

we , usually you get P03xx codes with it. misfire.

i open my fsm ,there are 6 tests. for this 1 failure
it says the spark duration is too short or nothing at all.
ill not type out all 6 tests nor the logic, (alldata.com has it)
step 1 is to :
clear all DTC
and key on (no start)
scan it, do you get 2302? now, not running,
that is correct the ecu test coil primary , before running, amazing,
if yes, the next steps are to see if the coil is bad (open primary)
or the ASD drive is dead.

I have no spark in cylinders 2,4,6 on my 2002 Ford escape and three codes 354,355,356 Which means the same . After checkin those Three coils I found out , there is no negative Any advise?

P0354 - Ignition Coil D Primary/Secondary Circuit Malfunction.

Description of DTC:
The ignition signal from the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) or Electronic Control Module(ECM) is sent to and amplified by the power transistor. The power transistor turns ON and OFF the ignition coil primary circuit. This ON/OFF operation induces the proper high voltage in the coil secondary circuit.

Symptoms:
- Lack/Loss of Power
- The engine may be harder to start
- Engine hesitation
- Check Engine Light On
- No spark

Possible Causes:
- Open or short in the ignition coil circuit
- Ignition coil circuit shorted to ground
- Ignition coil connector
- Damaged ignition coil
- Damaged PCM or ECM

Possible Solutions:
- If damage, repair ignition coil circuit
- Replace ignition coil
- Replace PCM or ECM



P0355 - Ignition Coil E Primary/Secondary Circuit Malfunction.

P0356 - Ignition Coil F Primary/Secondary Circuit Malfunction.
