SOURCE: 2004 Jeep G Cherokee diagnostic code open injector

It could be a faulty pcm or wiring as you stated in you post. the pcm pulses a ground to the injector circuit allowing the solenoid in the injector to activate momentarily are inject fuel into the intake. if you give me the engine size. V8 4.7L or strait 6 cylinder 4.0L and i will post the proper wiring diagram for the fuel injectors to help you out with your battle

SOURCE: I am getting a misfire

I've got a 2002 Grand Prix GTP 3.8L Supercharged V6, nearly the same motor.
I had the exact same problem, misfire on Cyl. 5 and random/multiple misfire.

I replaced all the wires, plugs, coils, and even the ignition module. My next thought was either fuel or exaust.

Replaced my Cat. with a 2.5" ZZP downpipe, and the car ran alot better, but still had a tiny bit of hesitation over 4000rpms.

So i checked all the fuel injectors, and the #5 injector was bad.

To check, get an ohm meter, remove the injector connectors, and contact the 2 posts inside the injector. They should read between 12.4-14 or so.

Mine was at 11.2.

Replaced all the fuel injectors, and she runs like a champ

SOURCE: 2001 Ford Windstar runs rough.

remove the coil pack and look at bottom of it if it shows any cracks coil is bad very common on these vans if you have a noid light check for injector pulse on #4 if you have pulse and good blue spark most likely the injector is bad you have to remove upper plenum to get injectors out let me know how you make out

How can i fix the missfire on a cylinder toyota corolla 2000 1.8ltr

First you need to retrieve codes from the Engine control module. You can buy a cheap code retriever at harbor freight and get the codes. After you get the codes, if it is P0301 it means cyl #1, P0302 = cyl #2, P0303=cyl 3 and P0304= cyl 4. For ex: if you got P0301 you should remove the ignition coil #1(near the front of the engine, where the pulley is) and change its position with the coil # 2. Also remove the spark plug #1 and change the position with the spark plug #4. Clear the codes and start and run the engine until the check engine light goes on. Check for codes and see if the code change for a different code. If it change the position observe which one is the change. If is P0304 you have a bad spark plug, If it is P0302 you have a bad coil. If it repeat P0301, you have either a low compression, bad injector/connector, bad intake gasket them you should continue your diagnostic. I hope this help you.

2005 jeep liberty engine misfire cylinder 5

A code P0305 may mean that one or more of the following has happened:
Faulty spark plug or wire
Faulty coil (pack)
Faulty oxygen sensor(s)
Faulty fuel injector
Burned exhaust valve
Faulty catalytic converter(s)
Running out of fuel
Poor compression
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.

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, and have a nice day.

2006 pontiac grand prix recevied code P0303, changed spark plugs, wires, and fuel injector. Car still shakes and check enigine light is still on. Acceleration is fine.

Spark plugs,wires and injectors, have nothing to do with your problem

PO303 is a misfire on cylinder #3
You may have an individual cylinder coil for that cyl or a coil pack for
several cyl,don't know the engine you have.

You may also have other issues that are causing the shaking

Check Engine Light P0302 Code

p0302 is a cylinder #2 misfire. when they swiched the coils did the misfire follow the coil or did it stay on cyl.#2. if the problem stayed with #2 they need to pull the cylinder head and check the valves with known good valves. have them install it into the cylinder head with valve lapping compound and run a pattern. if the cylinder head comes out with a good pattern replace the valves with the new pieces and reassemble the motor. if not the vehicle will need a new cylinder head
