Never fixed a problem in a car before help..... i have a chevy venture 2001 wth a p0302 misfire cylinder need help to fix please

p0302 is a misfire at number 2 cylinder which can be caused by a burnt cylinder up to you to compare cost of repair verses dumping vehicle get estimates on a replacement head --valve ob --engine replacement etc https://www.engine-codes.com/p0302_ford.html https://www.obd-codes.com/p0302

I suggest you get the car to a good mechanic who knows Lexus cars.

• C1201 = Engine Control System Malfunction (VCS lamp ON-RX3) or ECM/TCM malfunction / 51
• C1441 = ?(Code not listed so please recheck it).
• P0300 = Random/multiple cylinder(s) - misfire detected.
• P0302 = Cylinder 2 - misfire detected.
• P0303 = Cylinder 3 - misfire detected.

The first one is a possible problem with the engine management system, (the car's brain). This could be a cheap or an expensive fix.
The last three are the cylinders not firing properly. It could be a problem with fuel or spark into those cylinders.

code p 0302 i cylinder 2 --misfire detected ===causes --- engine mechanical fault ( valve seat insert loose , burnt valve , cam followers/ hydraulic followers faulty)---wiring---ignition/fuel system---injector--ECT/MAF sensor ---ECM
possible injector fault ( blocked tip)
code p 0401 refers to exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system--insufficient floe detected ==== causes --hose leak/ blockage ---basic setting not carried out (if required)---wiring---EGR valve ---EGR solenoid ---ECM
as you admit to knowing little about cars , take it to an accredited service center that works on your make of vehicle and get a proper diagnosis and quote
Use the codes information and causes I have given you when discussing the problem

And the question is what?

You can not use it like that,you will
ruin the exhaust converter & eventually
the motor

Use the internet to check your codes
& learn stuff
& have a shop resolve things

the codes are p0302 and p0303 p0302 if a misfire in cylinder number 2 p0303 is a misfire in cylinder number 3

P1354VVT System Malfunction (Bank 2)

• P0300 Random/Multiple Cylinder Misfire Detected
• P0301 Cylinder 1 Misfire Detected
• P0302 Cylinder 2 Misfire Detected
• P0303 Cylinder 3 Misfire Detected

• P0305 Cylinder 5 Misfire Detected
• P0306 Cylinder 6 Misfire Detected
• P0307 Cylinder 7 Misfire Detected
• P0308 Cylinder 8 Misfire Detected

Probably bad plug wires. Start there and then disconnect the battery for 5 minutes reconnect and start engine to see which codes have cleared.

it's P0302 actually, not the letter "o". That will help you TREMENDOUSLY when looking for answers online.

according to this fault codes first mark ignition coils
3 ---------------- 6
2 ---------------- 5
1 ---------------- 4
RB-------------LB
this right banks and left bank, please remove Ignition coils with lids and spark plugs from right bank and swap with left bank, if fault code change as
P 0304 Cylinder 4 Misfire Detected
P 0305 Cylinder 5 Misfire Detected
P 0306 Cylinder 6 Misfire Detected
You can Identify it's a faulty ignition system then next swap ignition lids from ignition coils be careful each coils have two lids one short and other long bit deference and when you remove and fix it to the car keep in mind correct order because each coil two different fire for two spark plugs don't mix up, if you mix it can create the fault code.if you detect any fault ignition coils or spark plugs or lids replace that and also whether god or bad recommend to replace spark plugs, find the right that's most important thing, if this way couldn't found the any ignition fault next step is check fuel presser, when the engine running fuel presser must be around 4.5 bar without engine running must be 4 to 6 bar if the fuel presser too low need to check two different things one is fuel pump other is fuel injectors, in this case you can swap injectors from right bank to left bank and find is the injectors leaking, if not leaking faulty fuel pump.is this information helped you? if yes please leave a comment,
