Perhaps you should 've checked the spark plug wire spark plug itself and the wiring going to the coil,there some many things that can cause a particular coil not to work.

Code 303 on 2004 saturn ion #3 misfire, replaced spark plugs, Started up misfires,, It doesn't have a CPS edit by me (NG), it has no CMP sensor, cam sensor but does have virtual CMP for sure. learned

OK now 2.2l told. L61 is GM name real name.
ALL FUSEs checked first(ALL)
CPS is 1990 name is NOW CMP
crank sensor is CKP
stop reading web sites on 1990 cars, they are gone .

2.2L is not at all like the Turbo with 4 cops and CMP real.

also , 303 means this.
1: bad engine, cyl 3. weak bad compression
2: bad spark.#3
3: bad injector #3 swap with 4, and see of failure follows to #4.

2.2 L ) L61 GM only.

let me read the SM service manual on your L61 engine GM.
a 2 wires CKP crank sensors, that must not be bad. or all spark ends, not just #3 ever. CKP goes only to ECM. so we skip this/


The ICM runs a super strange, Ignition coil 4 in 1.
ALL IN ONE COIL PACK, FIRES 1,3,4,2 AND VERY HARD TO TEST, IN A GIANT SANDWICH COIL PACK. (PAINFUL THIS)
the CAM sensor is part off the ICM.
(virualized synthetic)
THE STATEMENT BELOW NO MATTER HOW ODD IS HOW IT DOES A VIRTUAL CMP SENSOR.

"The ICM detects if cylinder?1 or cylinder?3 is on the compression stroke by sensing the secondary voltage and polarity of each side of the ignition coil. The higher voltage is on the compressing cylinder. This is called compression sense ignition. The ICM provides a synthesized cam signal to the ECM based on these inputs. The ECM uses the cam signal to synchronize fuel injection. This system consists of the following circuits:"

If the ECM receives an intermittent CMP signal from the ICM, DTC P0341 sets."

compression sense ignition.! <<<< learn this first
if compression is bad on #3 the ICM WILL BE CONFUSED
that is why techs, check compression first.
and no EFI on earth can run a dead engine(mech. hard failed)
for sure this one in SPADES.

most cars do not use. compression sense ignition.
and this car can not do CMP unless engine is good first. see how that matters here so much.
I hope so.

1996 subaru legacy 2.2 Auto No Spark on front two cylinders. after new coil installed still the same.

Hello and welcome to FixYa!

The problem can be on the ECU (engine control unit). If the ECU is faulty there can be no spark to the wires even the coil is new. You may try swapping the ECU first.
Hope this helps and thank you for using FixYa! Have a good one!

I have a 99 Subaru Legacy (Outback, 2.5L). The check engine light has come on and the codes indicate Cylinder 3 and Cylinder 4 misfires. The light came on about two weeks ago, and occasionally disapears...

hi the cylinder misfire codes are usually pretty specific, if you have replaced the above and it still hasnt fixed the problem try replacing the ignitor or the ecu as thats all it can be left causing the problem

Weak throttle response 92 subaru legacy

I would have have the TPS (Throttle Position Switch) tested, it sends a signal to the ECM of where the position of the throttle is so the ECM can determine how much fuel and air and spark to give to the engine. Have you replaced the spark plugs, fuel filter, air filter, spark plug wires? Have the coil tested also to see if it is putting out enough spark. Do you have any Check Engine Light coming on?

I have a 19992 Subaru Brumby which loses ignition spark

its quite possibly the crank angle sensor as they do this when they heat up,the car wont start,till it cools down,you can get the resistance checked on it to see if its ok,but you will need someone with experience to do it but its not a hard job
