Change the coil pack from cylinder 3 to cylinder 1. If you get a code p0301 after the swap, then that coil pack is bad, replace it. If you still get a p0303, then check the wiring to coil pack 3. If you have a combination coil pack, then replace the whole unit.

P0303 and P0353 are codes im getting from my 2004 chrysler pacifica how much would it cost to fix it?

code p 353 is ignition coil C primary/ secondary---circuit malfunction===causes wiring--ignition coil--ECM
code p 0303 is misfire on cylinder 3===causes --engine mechanical fault---wiring---ignition / fuel---injector---ECT/MAF sensor --ECM
at this point probably the price of a new coil and fitting costs

Has p0300 code misfire cyl 2 and 3

If it was just cylinder 2 or 3, the code would be 0302 or 0303. Instead, you have random misfires (probably) such that you should be checking things that affect the whole engine. Vacuum leaks, bad plug wires, bad coil(s) or ignition module are most likely, but even clogged exhaust, O2 sensors and bad battery can cause these problems. Yes, a battery can be good enough to start your car but still be bad enough to affect performance. If I had to guess, I would start by testing the ignition module. Most parts stores can test this if you remove it and carry it to them.

I have a 1996 dodge grand caravan,v6 3.8L .it keeps pulling the code(random misfire). I've changed the coil pack,did a full tuneup(plugs,wires,fluids,all of it.and it still keeps misfiring when I first...

misfires are more from faulty injectors / leaking injectors so check the codes as the misfire code will indicate the problem cylinder
exampl code p0300 is random misfires and codes p0301 through to p 0308 is the cylinder ie p 0303 is no 3 cylinder

My 2001day Ford Escape XLT has check engine light on. The parts store pulled the codesand its a gear 3 ratio issue and a miss fire on first and second cyl. Could these two be related or does the gear ratio...

Gear ratio does point to an internal transmission issue. The misfires can easily be diagnosed by swapping thing around and seeing if the code follows. For example misfire in cylinder number 1 & 2 swap coils to cylinder number 3 & 4 and if the code changes from P0301(2) to P 0303(4) you know you need coils.

Code 0303 ram 1500 2001

That means that number 3 cylinder is misfiring.I would start with replacing the sparkplugs and sparkplug wires first if they have not been changed in the last 50,000 miles or so.If that does not help then you will need to check the # 3 injector for pulse.

What is the code po 0303 for a 2003 jeep grand cherokee

P0303 means misfire on number 3 cylinder. It could be a spark plug, spark plug wire, coil pack, or maybe fuel injector. What ever it is, the number 3 cylinder is the problem.
