My car has a system too rich bank one code and multiple cylinder misfire. When I purchased it I changed the fuel pressure regulator right away and the oil pressure switch because each had a leak. Oil got into the spark plugs but I dried it up , replaced the plugs, boots , coil packs , housing unit , and had the ignition module tested and it was good. I also changed the fuel filter, and the o2 sensor off of the exhaust manifold. Advanced auto parts told me my timing was jumping from 7 to over 20 in neutral, and its misfireing pretty bad. What could it be ? What do I do next ? Thanks

SOURCE: multiple cylinder misfire detected

Thank you for all the information. I don't see how you made it worse unless the injectors were not installed correctly. If you remove them you are suppose to replace the o-ring on each of them and oil them (the o-rings) before installing them. I would check the air filter and the CAT (for excessive back pressure. Also check the rest of the exhaust for damage. If a pipe is kinked or flattened it would need repair. Also GM's are known for some issues with there e-vap systems. You may want to check it out. The gas cap, charcoal canister, vacuum lines. Well good luck.

SOURCE: random/multiple cylinder misfire

if you have done the basics of replacing plugs and wires,
what I found on a dodge that was doing the same thing,
I could watch the misfires happening on the scanner but the engine wasn't missing,turned out to be dirt and things floating in the fuel rail and partially plugging the screens on the injectors.

99 rx 300 I have trouble codes p0300, p0301, p0303, p0305, po172, and p0171.Stomped

codes p 0300 through refer to misfires on each cylinder with the end number ( 301 is no 1 cylinder , 302 is no 2 cylinder ans so on)=== causes --engine mechanical fault , ---wiring---ignition/ fuel ---injector/s---ECT/ MAF sensor/s ---ECM
most misfires are from injector faults like dirty/blocked tips, low fuel pressure , no pulse or problem pulse from ECM rather than plugs and wires and coils
codes p0171 refers to system to lean bank 1===causes ---intake exhaust leak---air system---maf/vaf sensors ---fuel pressure / pump---injectors ---heated oxygen sensor ( HO2S)
code p 0172 is system to rich-====causes ---intake blocked ---EVAP cannister purge valve ---fuel pressure --EGR system---injector/s ---HO2S
couple these two codes with the misfire codes , I suggest you look at the injectors, fuel pressure (too low) from EVAP problem not venting tank, fuel pressure regulator, EGR system

Engine misfires. Battery dead/fixed. Po303 code: Changed plugs/wires, code cleared/reappeared. Misfiring again. Po420 code/then cleared. Po306 code. Replaced coil tower. Misfired again..

You either have a bad catalytic converter causing too much back pressure or you are running rich. I think cylinder 3 and 6 are on the same side of the engine (except opposite banks) right? Locate the fuel pressure regulator. Is it on the same side? I've seen those go bad and allow fuel to be sucked into the vacuum line causing a rich condition/ misfire on two or three cylinders on that side of the engine.

Why is gas coming out of the muffler

Could be a few things I can think of, leaking injector, leaking / bad fuel pressure regulator, or defective O2 sensor(s) making the computer read high air content and the ECM is dumping in more fuel to compensate. You can check your plugs for gas fouling to isolate either a single cylinder or multiple cylinders will give you an idea of what to look for. If only very fouled on a single cylinder, probably a bad or leaking injector on that cylinder. If evenly distributed among all cylinders, fuel pressure regulator. If you have a check engine light on, get the codes read at Autozone (free) and it may tell you if it is an O2 sensor problem. Random misfire or multiple misfire codes would bring me back to the fuel system components. Get this taken care of right away and change your oil when fixed, you can cause severe damage to the engine with fuel going excessively into the cylinder(s) and / or crankcase.

Cylinder misfire spark

how many miles on the odometer, mines 95k.
ah a v6, P0306 is #6 misfiring. 2.5L V6
300 is all 6 misfiring.... oops.
it is. for sure.
misfire is cause by many things, only 3 in physics, but many real world. (compression + spark +fuel rates)
i works this easy, way.
i have a full scan tool not just a code reader (near useless it)
i make sure my V6 (I have an 04) holds closed loop at idle and 2500 rpm. i f not , fix that first.
easy, it is. just look, bingo, Open loop, (out of control)
fueling is out of control.
but, first i do that tune up. in the manual, 60k , 120k, 180k, see?
do that first. , spark plugs dont last foreever nor filters.
then i replace both front 02 sensors at 100k miles. there design life.
V6 has 2 front sensors. (rear can , just sit and be ignored)
if it misfires. now, i toss a coin.
compression or fuel pressure.
i can do both in 30min flat but i toss coin lands on fuel.
i check fuel pressure and its.
60psi, fuel regulator is bad,
20psi, same, or bad pump or bad 12vdc to pump, 8v to pump is bad wiring.
one thing that helps is to find out if the engine is running too rich or too lean.
and if there are cracks in the exhuast near the 02 sensors.
i force the EFI rich and lean watching both 02 sensors in my scan tool
to see if i can force them lean or rich.
on the v6, we can introduce air leaks, to the plenum.
this will cause lean, and the o2 most react to my lean forcing
or its dead.
i can force richer, if i suspect lean or 02 shows lean, by
removing the Fuel pump regulator hose (vac) and plugging hose fast.
this causes the FPreg to go to high pressure. max.
causing RICH>
i watch the 02 and see it go rich, if not the 02 is bad or you have exhaust leaks, or dead cylinder causing the 02 to fib.
you have 2 banks, and both banks are running off 1 MAF
so you can look at both 02 sensors (front) B1S1 and B1S2
and see if both react the same. to my forcing's.

i dont think you have 3 bad cops out 6. no.
if any cylinder misfires on bank one, then bank 1 o2 goes nuts
same with the Bank 2. this can aid troubleshooting having 2 banks.
the MAF can not lie for 1 cyclinder nor one bank
the 02s can lie for each bank,
both are key to diagnosis.
let me give an example say
injector 1 leaks.
causing 301s
v6
246
135 left
this is your lay out.
my guess is its not lost compression (no test guess, mostly useless)
not 2 bad cops one on each side will cause 300s
not one bad cop. as other side would be ok.
not one bad injector.
my guess, is fuel pressure is way off.
but///???
or maf running lean (dirty, spary clean it 12inches away not close)
low fuel pressure
too high fuel pressure.

all comments are for engine with 60k mile service done,
60k, 12ok, etc.

95 S10 blazer 4.3 vortec skipping code po172 and po300 possible solutions

P0172 system too rich bank 1. P0300 random multiple misfire. All are a common symptom of either bad fuel pressure regulator or leaking injector. Need to pull off intake plenum (upper) You should visibly see a clean side or part of intake manifold (lack of carbon buildup) Reconnect fuel lines. Energize fuel pump (turn on key to run) Most likely you will see fuel dripping out of rear (fuel pressure regulator) or nylon lines to each cylinder (fuel injectors). Once you see which is leaking will need to replace. Once they are repaired will need to clean or replace spark plugs & change oil & filter.

2003 Ford Ranger 4x4 extended cab- diagnostics checked and got these codes- P0171, P0174, P0300, P0316. Can you tell me what they mean?

P0171------ system too lean bank#1
Po174------ system too lean bank#2
For these 2 codes, try cleaning the maf sensor (mass air flow), that is mounted in the big black hose that goes from the air filter housing to the throttle plate, if it is dirty, that will cause those 02 sensors to send a signal to the computor to lean the air fuel mixture. If cleaning it doesn't work, the sensors will probably need changing.
P0300---- Random/multiple cylinder misfire
P0316---- Cylinder misfire at start up---- first 100 revolutions.
On those 2 codes, you have to do some testing to find out why there is a misfire.
Possible causes:
dirty/malfunctioning injectors
weak coil pack
fowling spark plugs/wires
Low fuel pressure
