Trouble Code (DTC)P0301
Official SAE DefinitionFallo de encendido detectado en el cilindro 1
Vehicle Subsystempowertrain
Driving SeverityHIGH

Observable Symptoms

  • Engine shaking at idle
  • Flashing MIL under acceleration
  • Unburned fuel smell

Step-by-Step Diagnostic Procedure

  1. Swap Cylinder 1 ignition coil with Cylinder 2 and see if misfire moves to P0302
  2. Inspect Cylinder 1 spark plug gap and insulator
  3. Perform cylinder compression and leak-down test if ignition/fuel are OK
