How I Cleared Code p0300 by Cleaning Ignition Coil Pack

[@JessSkubi]

I like it! People need videos like this - many people live paycheck to paycheck, unfortunately. This could be a resource until they're able to buy new ignition coils. Also, I like that I know I can switch these out myself. Hehe! Us non-mechanics don't know.

Thanks, glad the video helped!

A small but very important point: dielectric grease is an INSULATOR, rather than applying it to the electrical contact, apply it to the plastic post (or ceramic on a spark plug) to prevent the tracking of the HT to earth. You should also clean the ceramic or plastic post (carb cleaner and a rag). As for the rusty connections, whilst a piece of emery cloth is good for cleaning the bulk, a brass brush is better so as not to remove base material. If the corrosion is deep seated and stubborn apply some gel rust remover and clean until you have a shiny post again. It's also worth either cleaning the insides of the lead boots or replacing the leads. if the posts are rusty, so is the spring inside the boots. At least clean the boots if they are to be reused.

Thanks for the information!

Maybe use WD-40 Specialist electric contact cleaner.

[@CycloneCyd]

@@HoaTran-ki2qg maybe. Let us know if it does the job

[@creepystank420]

Can you use brake cleaner for the coil packs?

[@beachtroll8344]

No... not recommended
