  1. What does this OBD II code mean? This generic OBD2 code is set when the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) detects that misfires are present in the engine but can’t identify the specific cylinder. This may indicate an intermittent problem. Why does this OBD II code appear? The PCM is constantly monitoring engine performance in order to optimize the air/fuel mixture and achieve the most efficient combustion possible. When misfires occur, the PCM tries to isolate the source (identifying cylinder number). But when that’s not possible due to random misfires that jump from one cylinder to another the P0300 code is set. What symptoms may occur with this OBD II code? The following symptoms could be present: Difficulty to start the engine. Random engine misfires. The check engine light may be flashing, The engine may hesitate with varying degrees of intensity. Expect many of the symptoms typically attributed to engine misfires: poor fuel efficiency, lack of power under normal or heavy load, typical smell of gas fumes due to unburned fuel, etc. What are the causes that trigger this OBD II code? This code may be originated by: Deficient or faulty ignition system component: spark plugs, spark plugs wires, coil packs Deficient or faulty fuel system component: fuel injector, fuel pressure regulator, fuel volume regulator, fuel pump Vacuum leak in the intake manifold Leaked air bypassing mass air flow sensor Deficient of faulty emission system component: oxygen sensor, catalytic converter. Deficient or faulty auxiliary emission system component: EGR valve, air injection, EVAP Deficient or faulty crankshaft position sensor Deficient or faulty camshaft position sensor Deficient or faulty mechanical component causing low engine compression: burned exhaust valve, broken valve spring, broken piston ring, leaking head gasket, worn timing belt/chain. Defective PCM Diagnostic strategy for troubleshooting this OBD II code The recommended course of action to pinpoint the source of the problem is two-fold. The first stage is the standard information gathering: Using a professional OBD2 scan tool (preferably one with OEM capabilities) take note of all DTC present in memory including pending codes. Record freeze frame information (if present). Perform a manual fuel pressure reading using a proper fuel pressure gauge and adapters. This is crucial, even if the scanner is reporting the fuel pressure. Perform a manual vacuum reading using a proper gauge in the pressure regulator hose (if applies). Perform a manual vacuum reading in the intake manifold test port or in any direct vacuum hose with no direct relation to the fuel injection system (brakes, air conditioning, etc). Check for air leaks bypassing mass air flow sensor. Repair as necessary. Execute a comprehensive visual inspection with special attention to hoses and lines related to the fuel system. Execute a comprehensive visual inspection with special attention to hoses related to the vacuum system, also pay special attention to possible intake manifold leaks. Perform a test with an exhaust gas analyzer (preferably, a four or five gas analyzer). Perform a manual inspection of exhaust system: using a digital automotive pyrometer take note of exhaust pipe temperature before and after each catalytic converter. Take note of any distinctive smell in the exhaust. Perform an engine compression test and/or a leak down test. Query the vehicle owner about what, when and where the failure occurs. Does it happen with the engine hot? Cold? Under load? All the standard questions. Take note of the vehicle VIN and find a reliable source of technical reference. Finally, clear DTC memory and perform a complete driving cycle to activate KOER diagnostics. If the code P0300 disappears then inform the owner that one possible cause is an intermittent failure and further testing would be required until the code appears again. If the code does appear then continue to the next stage. The second stage is the hypothesis phase. With all information at hand, is time for testing all related components by order of importance. Firstly, if your engine compression is way below its normal values then you must start there. Mechanical deficiencies should be addressed before attempting any other repair. Check spark plugs condition as well as spark plug wires and coil packs. Replace as necessary and repeat all the tests described above. Do the fuel pressure gauge indicate a low-pressure condition? If so, you need to carry out a complete fuel system diagnostic. Start with the fuel pump as the most probable cause. Do the vacuum gauge indicate a possible leak? Then you need to find the leak(s) and repair them right away. Repeat all the tests described above after fixing the leaks. In case you were able to read exhaust pipe temperatures then compare the catalytic converter intake temperature against the outlet pipe temperature. If both temperatures are similar then suspect of a faulty catalytic converter. A normal reading will show a hotter outlet pipe temperature. Replace the catalytic converter if necessary and repeat all the test again. In case you were able to complete a 4-gas exhaust analysis, look for HC and CO values. If the results show high HC, low CO, and high O2 at the same time that is an indication of a lean mixture or EGR problems. If you have high HC, normal CO, and high O2 then you may have a mechanical engine problem. Depending on results, perform a complete EVAP and EGR test and replace components as necessary. Repeat all test when done. If you reached this point and everything is working as expected then you will need running a complete crankshaft/camshaft sensor check. Ideally, this is done using an OEM OBD2 scanner and a good quality automotive oscilloscope. If all the above test pass then you should send the PCM for a complete revision. Replace as necessary.
