One or more cylinders are not firing correctly.
Possible Causes of Chevrolet P0300 Code:
⦁ Ignition system problems (Spark plug, spark plug wire, weak coil)
⦁ Fuel delivery issues (Weak fuel pump, clogged fuel filter, fuel injectors)
⦁ Air Intake (Clogged air filter, Bad MAF Sensor)
⦁ Vacuum leak (Damaged or loose hose or a leaking intake manifold gasket)
⦁ Clogged Exhaust
How to Troubleshoot a P0300 Code:
⦁ Are there other codes?
⦁ Check intake air filter
⦁ Find which cylinder or cylinders are not firing.
⦁ Check for spark
⦁ Check fuel pressure
⦁ Check for clogged exhaust

Seems like you covered all of the possibilities, explaining clearly what to look for possible causes multiple codes etc. Now I gotta get at it & check it out again. Thanks

Thanks man, your video helped a ton. Pulled all the plugs and was able to diagnose the issue and get up and running again

After watching this video many of times, I will just blow off or vacuum the dirt on my air filter, my MAF sensor is still good because I made sure that the air filter is securely on it. I have to check spark plug again and maybe use my old ignition coils that I kept when I replace with the other new ones. It is always good to keep old ignition coils that is known to work. I watched another video saying dumping HEET Bottle anti-freeze water evaporator into the gas tank driving it for a while will work. Clogged Exhaust I know I do have because P0420 came up before P0300 and I know I have to replace my rear catalytic converter. In a forum said that if you replace the rear catalytic converter, you will have to replace the two front catalytic converters as well. The one by radiator and the one against the firewall. Without changing the rear catalytic converter for so long, that maybe my spark plug been burning so much, and the gap has widened on its own?

@alsaaidh 7 месяцев назад

You can do the basics of checking your spark plugs and ignition coils..air filter if its dirty...but most of the time you get a misfire when the car is cold is because of a bad intake gasket...when the engine is hot you don't see leaks because everything expands....

@reeeeeeeman8792 9 месяцев назад

Do you think it could be a fuel pressure regulator because I know it is not the fuel pump or filter but has low pressure

@HVAC_Mechanic 9 месяцев назад

A bad fuel pressure regulator can cause low fuel pressure.

@rosskennedy1960 3 месяца назад

Have you looked at the TPS? this sensor can cause issues with your fuel/air ratio. Also make sure you clean your throttle body with throttle body cleaner as it could be sticking.

Ok I have a 06 trailblazer 4.2 litre I changed out the fuel pump /injectors /coils/plugs/o2 sensor/checked the cat in it that was clear all new gaskets on intake and throttle body and it still has the code and I did a compression check and there all the same there all over 200 so I have no idea I even checked for vacuum leaks with my machine and nothing I’m stumped any ideas on what else to check ? Or could cause this ?

@HVAC_Mechanic 11 дней назад

Misfires can be hard to troubleshoot sometimes, since it is a P0300 code that usually means it's something that would affect the whole engine such as a sensor, fuel pressure, air intake. If the engine runs OK, it might be only an only 1-3 cylinders causing the problem. The spark plugs could be removed and matched to a spark plug burn chart to see which cylinders are having the issue.

@johnsamuels6021 2 месяца назад

Don’t forget bad gas! Water in the fuel will absolutely give you a P0 300. Also, don’t drive the car If the check engine light is flashing! It doesn’t take long for it to ruin the catalytic converters.

@mmorgan901 2 месяца назад

What would be good for treating bad gas? And how did you fix yours

@johnsamuels6021 2 месяца назад

Dry Gas/Gasline Antifreeze. (It’s alcohol). It mixes with the water and allows it to be burned up. I also used a good quality gas/diesel additive

Along with the P0300 mine is showing B2961 which I found out is the BCM. Should I change BCM first to see if that works? Also I changed the plugs about 2 months or so ago. Thanks Greg

@HVAC_Mechanic 24 дня назад

The BCM usually only affects components located in the body, not the engine, unless there is a wiring issue.

@@HVAC_Mechanic after sitting up for over 7 years when you crank it all the lights on dash come on. Will changing the BCM help with that ?

I have a 2000 Camaro 3.8 with a PO300 code only. I have replaced MAF sensor, fuel injectors, ignition coils, control module, fuel pressure regulator and fuel pump, Cam sensor and crank sensor. New fuel filter also. Still have the code. If it was just 1 plug bad, there would be a code for that if I'm correct.

Check the crankshaft position sensor, had to fix mine. Went underneath and seen the wires leading to sensor exposed, fixed the wires and got a new sensor. I went through a lot just to find out that everything from fuel pump, fuel filter, spark plugs and spark wires, to the distributor cap you name it… all that to find out it’s just the damn CP sensor and it only takes under 5mins to fix 🤦🏻‍♂️😂

@unknowsecurity9694 Месяц назад

There can be a few things honestly another thing my spark plugs had to be spaced correctly other than that it can be one of these A weak ignition coil Contaminated fuel injectors Excessive carbon build-up on the intake valves Low fuel pressure due to a faulty fuel pump A vacuum leak An exhaust leak A faulty camshaft position sensor A clogged catalytic converter Compression loss Hope this helps hope you get it fixed

How bout this scenario..... an P0300 code and check engine light. Repair done, includes 02 sensors (3 of 4), throttle body cleaned, one new coil pack, new fuel filter, EGR valve, air filter. Rough idle gone and CEL also gone but now has low RPM at idle (500) with some stalling. Would appreciate any help. Thank you. 2001 Suburban with 5.3 liter with 231K miles.

@HVAC_Mechanic Месяц назад

The throttle body may need a Relearn. Usually, it will relearn on its own when being driven, but you can look up the steps to speed it up.

@user-th7im1fy6z 10 дней назад

What about bad 02 sensor..i have bad one

@HVAC_Mechanic 9 дней назад

A bad 02 sensor will not let the engine go into a what's called a closed loop, which will cause the engine to be less responsive and possibly use more gas, but it won't cause a misfire.
