A misfire can be mechanical as well as electrical
code p 0300 is random/ multiple misfires detected
low fuel pressure is a probable cause from a problem fuel pressure regulator or problem EVAC system not venting properly causing a vacuum in the tank and starving the pump
erratic could be from valve problems on heating
loose valve seat insert/s, incorrect valve clearance from faulty hydraulic followers, cam shaft lobe failures are all part of the mechanical reason for random /multiple misfires

    Thanks Bill
    I just ordered a fuel regulator this morning. Local shops don't carry it. I have done a compression test on all cylinders too and they regestered at 180-185. So I feel pretty good valve train is in decent shape.
    EGR valve is throwing no codes but that is always brought up somewhere when discussing this issue
    Thanks again for your response I will let you know how it comes out.
    Regards
    Dave

2001 Ford Ranger 3.0. Engine misfiring. Does someone have an answer please?

That is a lot of replaced parts! Was this a 'let's try changing this' method of car repair? It doesn't work. A Pro-Grade scan tool computer will usually diagnose the part or the module with the issue. Did you check compression on number 6 for a sticking valve? The other possibility is that your replaced o2 sensor is defective is caused a rich mixture, dumping gas and a carbon fouled plug. Sensors come in qualities at three levels. Always buy the OEM spec sensors as they are so critical to efficient running. Avoid Made in Mexico and Made in China. I recommend Denso.

What are the probable causes of DTC P0300 on this unidentified vehicle?

plugs, wires, coils, low compression, bad pcm, improper fuel pressure, bad fuel, worn out cam, plugged injector, plugged cat, bad O2 sensor, bad MAF, and Vacuum leaks can cause multiple cylinder missfires along with many other things

PO174 AND PO171\

code p 0171 refers to system too lean bank1===causes ---intake /exhaust leaks--AIR system---MAF/VAF sensors --fuel pressure/pump--injector/S=== HO2S
code p 0174 refers to system too lean bank 2====causes intake /exhaust leak---fuel pressure/pump---injector/s---AIR system---hose connection/s
the fuel pressure is adequate
The HO2S is the heated oxygen sensor in the exhaust manifold /pipe before the cat converter
( is responsible for the fuel ratio settings )
you may have to pull the injectors to have them cleaned and tested
the maf/vaf sensor may have to be replaced as well

Kia rio 2003 errorcodes 1166,102,1505 1507,300 found on the scan what is the reason

Hi there:P1166 - HO2S11 Heater Circuit Fault (Bank 1 Sensor 1)


P0102 - Mass Air Flow (MAF) Circuit Low Input

A code P0102 may mean that one or more of the following has happened:

  • The MAF may be disconnected, or a wiring connection may be bad
  • The MAF may be dirty or otherwise contaminated (Note: if you use a reusable oiled air filter, be careful not to apply too much oil or that can contaminate the MAF).
  • The MAF sensor may be faulty
  • The vehicle computer may be faulty (very rare)

Possible Solutions

The simplest thing to do is to reset the code and see if it comes back. Then start with the cheapest, easiest repair procedures:

  • Verify that the Mass Air Flow Sensor wiring is connected properly and that there are no broken / frayed wires.
  • Inspect for any air leaks near the MAF sensor.
  • Take the MAF out and clean it using a spray cleaner such as brake cleaner or electrical contact cleaner. Be gentle with the sensor.
  • Check the voltage of the MAF sensor (refer to a repair manual for vehicle specific information)
  • Replace the MAF sensor.




P1505 - Idle Air Control System At Adaptive Clip


P1507 - Idle Air Control Underspeed Error



P0300 - Random/Multiple Cylinder Misfire Detected
A P0300 diagnostic code indicates a random or multiple misfire. If the last digit is a number other than zero, it corresponds to the cylinder number that is misfiring. A P0302 code, for example, would tell you cylinder number two is misfiring. Unfortunately, a P0300 doesn't tell you specifically which cylinder(s) is/are mis-firing, nor why.


A code P0300 may mean that one or more of the following has happened:
  • Faulty spark plugs or wires
  • Faulty coil (pack)
  • Faulty oxygen sensor(s)
  • Faulty fuel injector(s)
  • Burned exhaust valve
  • Faulty catalytic converter(s)
  • Stuck/blocked EGR valve / passages
  • Faulty camshaft position sensor
  • Defective computer
  • If there are no symptoms, the simplest thing to do is to reset the code and see if it comes back.
If there are symptoms such as the engine is stumbling or hesitating, check all wiring and connectors that lead to the cylinders (i.e. spark plugs). Depending on how long the ignition components have been in the car, it may be a good idea to replace them as part of your regular maintenance schedule. I would suggest spark plugs, spark plug wires, distributor cap, and rotor (if applicable).
Otherwise, check the coils (a.k.a. coil packs). In some cases, the catalytic converter has gone bad. If you smell rotten eggs in the exhaust, your cat converter needs to be replaced. I've also heard in other cases the problems were faulty fuel injectors.

Random misfires that jump around from one cylinder to another (read: P030x codes) also will set a P0300 code. The underlying cause is often a lean fuel condition, which may be due to a vacuum leak in the intake manifold or unmetered air getting past the airflow sensor, or an EGR valve that is stuck open.



Hope this helps; also keep in mind that your feedback is important and I`ll appreciate your time and consideration if you leave some testimonial comment about this answer.

Thank you for using FixYa, have a nice day.

Try running some fuel injector cleaner through your fuel tank. What you may have are a couple of plugged or missfiring fuel injectors. I would suggest checking all of your wiring to your injectors to insure good connection, replace your fuel filter and check for vacuum leaks.
