| Post subject: | P300 is BACK AGAIN! |
OK I had it this time! Plugs changed, Coils changed, fuel filter changed, injectors changed, PCM changed, cam sensor, changed. Dealer can not figure out the problem. 150146K and this has been an issue for over 50K now. I can not figure out the problem. if the dealy don't know what the P300 is being caused by, then what good are they? I am sure I am not the only one who ever had the random miss fire... Next step: TOURCH THE F-BOMB!

What about the wires connected to the coil pack plugs? Maybe a cracked. shorted or slightly damaged wire? |

I will change the knocks this weekend. I have not run anything higher that 87 for a long time. Since BIG OIL shoved 4 beans a gal gass our way. But every oil change 3k I dump in injector cleaner/treatment |

Quote: NOTE: Over or under tightening the sensor mounting bolts will affect knock sensor performance, possibly causing improper spark control. Always use the specified torque when installing the knock sensors. REMOVAL The 2 knock sensors are bolted into the cylinder block under the intake manifold (Fig. 20). NOTE: The left sensor is identified by an identification tag (LEFT). It is also identified by a larger bolt head. The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) must have and know the correct sensor left/right positions. Do not mix the sensor locations. (1) Disconnect knock sensor dual pigtail harness from engine wiring harness. this connection is made near rear of left valve cover (Fig. 20). (2) Remove intake manifold. Refer to Engine section. (3) Remove sensor mounting bolts (Fig. 20). Note foam strip on bolt threads. This foam is used only to retain the bolts to sensors for plant assembly. It is not used as a sealant. Do not apply any adhesive, sealant or thread locking compound to these bolts. (4) Remove sensors from engine. But now you stated that you over use injector cleaner that could be a issue also,your cat's may be messed up now also,not 100% but over using that stuff tends to mess them up and your O2 sensors. |

I thought you were done with that Brian. Try changing your gas brand. Try a different major brand fuel than what you were using.. I think Troy is right about the injector/fuel system cleaner. I only run it about 2x a year. Techron fuel system cleaner and then run it good on the highway like when I am going on a trip. If you think I can help let me know. I can bring down the FSM, code reader, and my half a brain....haha Call my cell any time. |

Thank you Troy. Yea I guess I over use that stuff. I figured now that the KJ is over 150K, I should kinda keep the engin and fuel sys as clean as I can. But this problem started way before I started to use the treatment alot. I used it every 25K when I changed my plugs untill I hit 100K then it wnet to every 3K with gas treatment. |

Gas brands change often, I alway need help Dave with "DOWN STAIRS BEER" |
