Simple Fix for cylinder misfire P0300, P0301, P0302, P0303, P0304, P0305, P0306 on 2008 Honda pilot

[@marioserrano5796]

I recently purchased a 2007 Honda Pilot with 78K miles on it, purchase inspection indicated nothing majorly wrong with vehicle. 3 weeks after purchase, engine light turns on. Miss fires codes in all 6 cylinders. I changed the Spark plugs for NGK and old Spark plugs didn't indicate oil leak issues, which is a good sign. Engine light went away for a week, but came back with Miss fires in all 6 cylinders again. The engine light sorta flashed initially and stayed on. Before I spend money on new coils, I'm a try changing the springs as you did. I called O'Reilly Auto Parts and they have a kit $36 or you can buy single springs and boot for little over $6. I'm doing this over the weekend and will report back. Thanks for making this Video! 👍

[@robertcuevas7372]

it worked?

[@marioserrano5796]

@@robertcuevas7372, After writing the conment above I figured to just clean the old metal springs in the coils rather than spending $ on something that may not work. During the cleaning process I had to remove/detach the Springs from the coils and put them back in, but the Spring were pretty much loose/No longer attached to the coil. The process took about 2-2.5 hrs. The Pilot started no problem, the engine light was off for like 5 minutes, but then it flashed on/off and it stayed ON (SOB). I ended up buying all 6 new coils and replacing them, and the engine light did turn off and stayed off for about 2 weeks, but came back on. It would stay on for a number of days and then it would go away on its own (The Ghost engine light syndrome others speak off). My Pilot is at 83K miles, so I ended up getting a valves adjustment at a shop and that took care of the problem. Note: The shop would have changed the sparkplugs and Coils as part of the recommended valve adjustment. Thus, I saved on labor costs by doing those my self and deciding the quality parts to use. I hope this helps.

[@oldhawkins]

Thank you!... solved my misfiring, surging P0305 problem on 2007 Pilot LX with 141k that had VTM-4 and engine dash indictors on. Also took a shotgun approach; replaced plugs, these coil springs and boots, EGR valve, flushed trans fluid and replaced rear\front diff fluid, and injector cleaner in a fresh tank of 92 octane - cleared the codes with an OBD II scanner, runs like a champ.

You have your cylinder numbers wrong. The are 1,2,3 and the back of engine left to right and 4,5,6 left to right on the front. By front and back I'm referring to the back at the firewall and front closest to bumper..

[@HugoDeFainia]

I replaced the plugs with nonfake OEM replacements and did the coil pack rebuild kit as you did. Afterward, I had a lot of misfires. I pushed the springs all the way down to seat like the originals came out. Getting the springs seated all the way down was was kind of tricky to do. I may have compressed the new springs too much. I will go pull the new springs back out, stretch them a bit and try again.

vacuum leaks?

[@isnowyazn]

@@denamay5354 Intake tubing, intake manifold hoses, etc.

[@scooterwoodley195]

This is the best advice in the comments. The intake snorkel (rubber accordion section between air filter box and throttle body) are notorious for developing cracks after it loses its pliability. That will cause a massive vacuum leak and a misfire on all cylinders. Think about it…what is the likelihood that all 6 springs on the coil packs simultaneously went bad? Not likely. A vacuum leak, however, will cause all cylinders to simultaneously misfire. Check for vacuum leaks first before doing all the coil pack springs.

[@rokso8774]

Where do you get these springs from???

[@michaelguy6158]

So.... a silly question...and I apologize if it has already been asked. Instead of buying new springs, why not soak the old ones in vinegar? It should clean all the corrosion. I get that you should also change the boot. But this would allow you to either isolate the issue or continue to look. And you can decide to change them afterward. Now to be clear, you did a great video and really helped to identify a problem spot, so please do not take my question in a negative way.

[@TheMightyBluegill]

I have this problem and haven't attempted a solution yet, but I wonder if part of the problem is also the boots themselves if they are cracked and allowing things to short out... In other words maybe their job is to insulate the spark and they are failing as well.

[@brettblack7049]

​@@TheMightyBluegillif they are shorting, you can usually see it on the boots. Guessing you've got it figured out by now though.

The owner put e85 in her gas tank. We replace ignition coils, spark plugs, gas, thinking it might be receiver dryer. Oem Acura only show strainer in the fuel pump. Just until we realize, it's got a little bit more issue than we think.

[@gr2262]

Do the 99-04 Odysseys have this same plug and spring? I am getting p0300 p1399 p0302 p0304 p0306 but van is running good and would run like crap with my old coils even though they work so now im wondering if this is the issue too.

[@RenewedFaith]

I replace all 6 plugs and packs... was fine for a bit but now am back to all cylinder misfire and goes into limp mode (I also replace both o2 sensors)... over 300k in miles so now I'm thinking my cat is clogged. My wife loves this pilot, and thats the only reason its not been parked on the train tracks just yet but damn thing is asking for it.

[@hawkthatdown]

Just did the same job to mine yesterday with the same results.. some videos are saying the valves need to be adjusted so guess I’ll try that next time

[@robertritchie7048]

You can also turn your car on and pull the connector on each coil pack and if the the car starts to idle worse soon as you unplug the connector then plug it back in and move to next coil and eventually you’ll unconnect one of the coil packs connectors and the vehicle will remain the same and that’s your bad coil pack that needs replaced

[@myusrn]

So a bad ignition coil can just be the coil on plug insulator, i.e. contact spring and rubber boot? Would you expect these to be present as well in 2015 lexus rx350 ignition coils? Seems like if you've determined a bad ignition coil, by swapping one for cylinder not throwing code with one that is, you'd do this inexpensive repair test before stepping into buying completely new ignition coils right?

I'm going through EXACTLY the same issues on my 2007 Honda Pilot right now! When i'm on the hwy & maintain rpms averaging 1500-1800 for more then 5sec my engine light starts to flash & i'm getting misfire issues. I live on top of a very high mountain & if i try to go up in D it starts to misfire. But if i switch to D3 no misfires. My mechanic replaced all my plugs w/iridiums & all 6 ignition coils roughly 2yrs ago but now the light keeps coming back on & my mechanics reader & Auto Zone reads misfires on #5 (middle front). So what is the exact name of these springs or part# please? I'm going to have these replaced once i get that info from you & i'll let you know the results. Thanks!
