Code p 0300 refers to random/multiple cylinder/s--- misfire/s detected ====causes spark plug/s--HT lead/s---injectors/s ( most likely)--ignition coils ---low compression ---wiring---low fuel pressure

check for moisture in coil/s or other electronic connections
code p 1174 refers to fuel measurement system, bank 1 injection timing incorrect===causes fuel pressure/pump---intake /exhaust leak---EGR system---EVAP canister purge valve ---HO2S ( heated oxygen sensor)
the HO2 s is in the exhaust manifold before the cat converter
at this point I suggest a fuel pressure check as random multiple misfires is mostly from bad injectors or low fuel pressure or fuel pressure regulator faulty

There is a technical service bulletin that states the correct procedure to repair this issue is to replace the injectors with updated units AND reprogram the pcm for the new injectors.

Why does my saturn sound so bad when idles?

if the car is loud/noisy there is a hole in the exhaust system and this will cause a rough idle because of a loss of back pressure and the vales will not open and close properly resulting in the rough idle it also will make the engine run hotter and this will cause your spark plug gaps to increase and the spark will be less than needed to ignite the fuel in the cylinder for proper combustion which will result in poor gas mileage and lack of power is the check engine light on?

Rough idle dies occassionally

Upper o2 sensors, dirty intake, air & fuel filters, needs tune-up, dirty idle air intake valve, does it have any obd2 codes? You 've a few things to look at. Good luck.

2007 satur ion 2.2 runs rough after rain

When the light is on have it checked for DTC'S - diagnostic trouble codes , do you know what they are ? Ignition system problem , coil's , plug wires if the vehicle has then . The check engine light code is probably for a engine misfire . Check Engine Light On

I replaced head gaskets on 2004 dodge dakota. when started it ran rough and lacked acceleration. Code P0300 and o2 sensors showed. replaced all 4 O2 sensors, but still rough idle and code P0300

That's Random or multiple missfire code. Have you checked for proper fuel pressure? Improper fuel pressure will trigger this code if it's too low, thus causing a lean mixture in multiple cylinders.

I put a cold air intake on my 2007 saturn ion 2.2. now i have codes poping up.how do i fix these without putting my factory air box back on: code p0102,p0101,p0300,p0171

The P0102 means Mass or Volume Air Flow Circuit Low Input
The P0101 means Mass or Volume Air Flow Circuit Range/Performance Problem
The P0300 means Random/Multiple Cylinder Misfire Detected
The P0171 means System too Lean (Bank 1)

Rough idle after one minute

rough idle can be a lot of different things, is a check engine light on is the first thing that comes to mind, its hard to give you an answer without having the codes the car has stored, it could be anything from bad gas to a mass air flow sensor and a throttle control sensor

My check engine light on my 07 saturn ion keeps coming on and gives the code p1174 and p0300 what do they mean and how do i fix

1174 is a lean code, and would have to been set first because it will not set when the 0300 is there. 0300 is a random misfire, because it read after the lean code, it was probably caused by the lean condition. 1st check for vacuum leaks from hoses or intake gaskets, you cal listen for a hissing sound, or spray carb cleaner around intake systems, a change in rpm will be noticed when spraying near a vac leak. other probable causes are the upstream 02 sensor, map sensor, or fuel delivery problems. does the vehicle idle porly, or does it miss at the top end?

Rough idle stalls and some times engine dies.P0300

a car that idles rough and clears up is the sure sign of an o2 sensor shorted this may not give a code if the short in the sensor is bad the computer will eliminate its input to protect itself
