Code P0304 Indicates a misfire in cylinder 4. The computer will notice these long before they get bad enough for the driver to notice. Check your plugs and plug wires for thightness. I know from expierence that "New" parts does not mean "Good" parts.

If you have access to a scan tool still.... swap the #1 and #4 plugs and if you still get a P0304 reading you know the misfire is likely in the #4 cyl. wiring. (A faulty injector could cause a misfire but it's less likely a culprit than the wiring)
If you get P0301 code after you swap the plugs.. then you'll know it's a faulty plug.


sorry for the long winded advice.

Mini cylinder 4 misfire code po304, used code

you need to check cylinder 4 plug and injector function, ignition coil, as it could be an intermitant problem. check for a vacuum leak in the area of cyl 4 if these appear good then you will have to check to see if there is a PCM problem.

Eml light warning is on and the 2006 Mini Cooper S lost power, the car also had a misfire (P0303) . I replaced the spark plugs, wires and coil pack. Problem still here,

misfires are also caused by low fuel pressure injector electronics faults and faulty injector tips . Replacing plugs is half the fix

When i push my 04 mini cooper S, at the 5500rpmpoint, car just "falls on its face", the service engine soon light which was previously on, begins to blink as well as the traction control light comes o

Drive it real easy until you get the computer scanned for trouble codes.
The check engine light is telling you the computer has a problem with something that will affect performance and emissions, when it flashes the problem is serious and can damage the engine or engine parts.
The trouble codes will tell a mechanic what to look for and test.

Car started fine and now doesn't. The battery seems to be fine (new). No error code. Any suggestions?

Try removing the Neg battery terminal for about 30sec. This will effectively (re-set) the main computer to default factory specs. It worked on my 2004!! Also might have an ODB2 code reader run by you local auto parts dealer. They can get the codes too.
Have fun,

p0301 is Cylinder 1 Misfire. Check fuel injector,Spark plug, plug wire, ignition coil.

p0326 is the Knock sensor (Combined with above code I'd check the fuel injector on #1 cylinder)
