Autolite Challenge Series: P0300 Engine Misfire Diagnosis

[@vintonking7494]

Sir your presentation is awesome and effective in solving the PO300 problem on my 2007 Nissan Xterra

[@LuisCarranza]

Great presentation to explain P0300 and the causes.... Now with this, I can check other things that I missed previously...

[@electric8668]

One of the best explanations on the internet.

[@khalid109q]

I am really satisfied. I got alot of information which is much useful. Thanks alot.

[@GlycerinZ]

Got a P0300, two spark plugs were loose. Tightened both and then got a P0306. Checked that spark plug (which was one of the two which were loose) and the porcelain was half broken off the plug, causing arcing. Replaced #6 plug with a new one and no more SES light.

[@kaylamarie8309]

Wow this is great instruction! Fantastic and informative video! New sub.

[@jusmee5769]

A '98 van that I got about a month ago misfires when warmed up. I couldn't figure out why until after reading/watching about looking for arcing at night. So I decided to do that and sure enough, there was arcing on the transmission fill tube from the ignition coil. I moved it out of the way so that it wouldn't arc thinking that would fix it (I thought it was coming from underneath the coil wire boot). When I checked again, it was arcing from the side of the center part of the coil to the outer metal square around it. There were 3 different arcs on one side, not sure about the other side. Going to get a new coil at the end of this week hopefully and see if that fixes it. My spark plugs (NGK TR5 V Powers) were also gapped improperly (I think). Some were gapped at 30 and some 40 and my manual says 60 but not sure if these plugs have to be gapped for this engine (60) or if they were supposed to be pre-gapped at 40. I'll figure it out sooner or later.

[@JoseSanchez-wb5rz]

@@mdev8846 Denso spark plugs PK16TT , B&B wire set M6-58366. Hope it helps you.

[@MegaTraker]

it is very instructive did mostly all of the test and what confuse me is the fact when cold engine start good a minute running than rough idle hold accelerator rpm to 2000 for about 4 minutes temp of engine come up to normal and engine run very good all day till cooling off overnight what could be the problem?? I only got the P0300 code onto the OBD2 code reader that show. while engine run rough I also get service traction system than it goes away when engine run good. Thank. I am on that for about two weeks now still drive the car and it run good when warm.

[@davidostring803]

Good information. Thank you.

[@superdve1]

Appreciate your thoughts. Jay and I worked hard on that series and it's still relevant today. Good luck fixing cars.

[@superdve1]

@@dtav116 Sounds like a load scaling issue or O2 sensor. Does this cold/hot or all the time.

[@randalceniceros8157]

Great info

[@hermanrogers1325]

You all should know that newer model cars can be control over Bluetooth or internet or a scanner and the check engine light is being controlled to come on so you will carry the car back to the dealership and they will take your money and not fix the problem except for a few days after that it will come back on

[@MrTimeless101]

Service lamp on my 05 altima se-r reads p0300. Engine idles terribly but accelerates smooth as silk with what feels like normal power delivery.

[@leemazzarella]

Check for vacuum leaks

[@buckmajor]

OK so I noticed you don't respond to comments? I have a p0303 fault code.

[@East17A]

[@HelmetVanga]

+East17A This video es pretty good... Sources who are familiar with fixing cars like shops, dealerships, internet conclude many many reasons, Even if the gas tank cap is not thigh enough, it could trigger check engine service P0300 OBD error code. Before replacing parts randomly and the car shops guessing, it is best to have the car dealer technicians do a complete test and only then start replacing parts.

[@TBD3.0]

11:47 This made me laugh,....so true ....👍🏻

[@sayedjalil3606]

i have code p0300 many time in my yukon 2001

[@HelmetVanga]

Who makes the OBD error reader tool? its screen is wide and looks more professional than the ones that cost $15.00 a pop. Anyone? Hopefully the poster will contribute with the answer. Thanks a bunch.

[@iamstd2]

HelmetVanga The one in the video is made by OTC and costs $1500-$3000

[@hermanrogers1325]

I been driving my car for 6 years with the check engine light on and I care because the car is running good I replaced every sensor spark plugs and coils and fuel pump and filter now I will replace the throttle body and fuel injectors and the cats and if the car is running good with 186,000 miles and if the check engine light doesn’t go out then I will just open up the dashboard and take out the stupid bulb

[@Hola-sb6uw]

Thanks new sub.

[@autogamer6404]

7dramabeats PO300 is a Multable misfire code

[@ZiggZagg11]

PO300 could be from bad/old fuel.... Just saying.....

+7dramabeats me too in my 1997 buick. have replaced tons of stuff.

[@maddogmarc]

@7dramabeats - It could be a spark plug, ignition coil, fuel filter or fuel system or maybe even the battery. Check all of these.
