P0171 : System Too Lean (Bank 1), P0300 : Random/Multiple Cylinder Misfire Detected, P0340 : Camshaft Position Sensor A - Bank1 Circuit Malfunction. I don't know what P1300 is.

IS the smoking extremly heavy ? Extreme heavy smoke where you cant see behind the car would indicate turbo. If this is the case no engine damage should have occured. The turbo on these cars are oil and water cooled, The heavy smoke indicates a worn seal in the turbocharger is leaking oil directly into the exhaust system and burning there. Catylitic and oxygen sensor damage may occur but engine damage is unlikely.

Hi there,

A P0300 diagnostic code indicates a "random" or "multiple" misfire.

Unfortunately, P0300 doesn't tell you specifically which cylinders are mis-firing, nor why (code P0301 would indicate cylinder #1; P0302 would indicate cylinder # 2 etc). This means there could be an issue with any number of components/circuits relating to the ignition/combustion circuits.

I would recommend you check for the following:

• Faulty spark plugs and/or HT leads
• Faulty coil (pack)
• Faulty oxygen sensor(s)
• Faulty fuel injector(s)
• Burned exhaust valve
• Faulty catalytic converter
• Stuck/blocked EGR valve / passages
• Faulty camshaft position sensor

Sometimes the underlying cause of a random misfire is often a lean fuel condition, which may be due to a vacuum leak in the intake manifold, unmetered air getting past the airflow sensor, or even an EGR valve which is stuck open.

Hope this helps...

Is it leaking inside the car? If so then it is more than likely the heater core is leaking antifreeze. You will need to replace the heater core under the dash.
