I went through all of that with my 99 Yukon, 5.7L . Had misfires, occasional codes for acceleration on hills, etc... After all of it, I replaced all 4 O2 sensors and have not had a code since and hesitation , especially on hills is gone.

My 1996 Taurus. When I press the gas pedal when cold it sputters, lack of power. Once it heats up it runs fine. code p0305

A code P0305 may mean that one or more of the following has happened: 1 Faulty spark plug or wire 2 Faulty coil (pack)3 Faulty oxygen sensor(s) 4 Faulty fuel injector 5 Burned exhaust valve 6 Faulty catalytic converter.
Possible Solutions If there are no symptoms, the simplest thing to do is to reset the code and see if it comes back. If there are symptoms such as the engine is stumbling or hesitating, check all wiring and connectors that lead to the cylinders (i.e. spark plugs). Depending on how long the ignition components have been in the car, it may be a good idea to replace them as part of your regular maintenance schedule. I would suggest spark plugs, spark plug wires, distributor cap, and rotor (if applicable). Otherwise, check the coils (a.k.a. coil packs). In some cases, the catalytic converter has gone bad. If you smell rotten eggs in the exhaust, your cat converter needs to be replaced. I've also heard in other cases the problems were faulty fuel injectors.

I have got misfire in many cylinder,i have got code p0302,p0304,p0305,burn alot of fuel, smell gasoline in side,engine start loudly,

I would start with a tune-up: new plugs and wires, new distributor cap/rotor button, new air filter, maybe a new fuel filter. If you get gas at the same location all the time, try a different one for a while too.
These would be the easiest to do first to eliminate some common issues.

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.

Check engine light is on with a code p01399 and p0301 - p0305

P1399 - Acura Random/Multiple Cylinder Misfire Detected.

P0301 and P0305 is refer at cyl #1 and #5 misfiring.

On most Honda's when you get a misfire happening across the whole engine like that there are a few likely issues. the ignition coil if it's a single coil style or the connector at the distributor. They also have some issues with EGR's and plugged ports which can mess with the fuel trim numbers. It's important to check the fuel pressure and if possible a timing offset spec from the scanner whenever you're dealing with misfires on any vehicles Honda or not and determine correct pressure and flow whenever possible.

A code P0301 and P0305 may mean that one or more of the following has happened:
Faulty spark plug or wire
Faulty coil (pack)
Faulty oxygen sensor(s)
Faulty fuel injector
Burned exhaust valve
Faulty catalytic converter(s)
Running out of fuel
Poor compression
Defective computer

Possible Solutions:
* If there are no symptoms, the simplest thing to do is to reset the code and see if it comes back.
* If there are symptoms such as the engine is stumbling or hesitating, check all wiring and connectors that lead to the cylinders (i.e. spark plugs). Depending on how long the ignition components have been in the car, it may be a good idea to replace them as part of your regular maintenance schedule. I would suggest spark plugs, spark plug wires, distributor cap, and rotor (if applicable). Otherwise, check the coils (a.k.a. coil packs). In some cases, the catalytic converter has gone bad.

Intermittant p0302,p0305 codes misfires

A code P0305 may mean that one or more of the following has happened:
· Faulty spark plug or wire
· Faulty coil (pack)
· Faulty oxygen sensor (s)
· Faulty fuel injector
· Burned exhaust valve
· Faulty catalytic converter(s)
· Running out of fuel

Depending on how long the ignition components have been in the car, it may be a good idea to replace them as part of your regular maintenance schedule. I would suggest spark plugs, spark plug wires , distributor cap, and rotor (if applicable). Otherwise, check the coils (a.k.a. coil packs). In some cases, the catalytic converter has gone bad, especially given you had water issues. If you smell rotten eggs in the exhaust, your cat converter needs to be replaced.

Check engine light is on and the codes are P0300 and P0305. Also it is a very slow starter cold but starts quickly when hot.

P0300 Basically this means that the the car's computer has detected that not all of the engine's cylinders are firing properly.
P0305 means the misfire is occuring on the #5 cylinder.

Check all wiring and connectors that lead to the cylinders (i.e. spark plugs). Depending on how long the ignition components have been in the car, it may be a good idea to replace them as part of your regular maintenance schedule. I would suggest spark plugs, spark plug wires, distributor cap, and rotor (if applicable). Otherwise, check the coils (a.k.a. coil packs). In some cases, the catalytic converter has gone bad.
