everyone's nightmare.. p0300 code. =( after engine swap.
after they install the new engine just to my luck. p0300 code. have to hurry up and fix it before Friday if not im gonna have to cancel my appointment for the tune.
here's what I already checked= intake leak. spark plugs and coils. To make sure they were all firing, took out one by one and threat them out at night. All 6 of them where working. next I checked coils plug with the help of the service manual, all 6 were right. next step: change my injectors. MAf air flow sensor: I had an extra one but as soon as I changed it I got the code p0103 witch means bad air flow sensor. so I connected my other one back on and the code disappear but still have p0300. |

Have you noticed anything else? Or just the code?

So you haven't noticed any misfires?
If not, just a pure guess, cam sensor? |

no luck,
thins I already did: checked vacum leak. replaced spark plugs. I have extra set of coils so I replaced them. check every single spark and coil make sure it was spark on it. replaced cam sensors. replaced MAF air flow sensor. cleaned all 4 oxygen sensors. Tomorrow I should check voltage on all 4 oxygen sensors. don't know what else is missing. the weird thing is that when I'm driving tha car the code doesn't come out only when it's park and I set the rpms to 3 thousand. can it be because of my tomei cams (not being tune)? rough idle and makes the crankshaft sensor think wrong? I am gonna take the it to get tune but I want to make sure everything is working before I take it. thanks in advance for the help. |
Skip the tune. Go back to school, and learn how to write clearly.

Well it sounds like it's not electrical then, unless you replaced a bad sensor with another bad sensor (happens sometimes). Might as well do a compression test since it's super easy. If you took the spark plugs out already, I'm sure you can do it yourself for cheaper than a shop.
Maybe the tune is off too though. If your tuner goofed, he could have you running too rich at some points which will cause misfires that are intermittent, random and hard to detect unless you're really in tune with your cars throttle response. I knew my base tune was off, and could feel the misfires between 2-3k RPM. Sure enough it eventually through a SES code at me, didn't even have to read it, knew it was the tune. Got it dyno tuned and no more misfires. Who did your tune? Was this on a dyno or street? Wideband installed for tune to monitor AFR? |

here's a quick video, I took the car for a 30 minute drive around the city and never had p0300 light coming out. as you can see the idle is not that bad for 272 cams without tune.

I was thinking cam sensor because a bad sensor could incorrectly indicate a misfire (long shot, but was worth a try). Did you read the link I posted? Fuel pressure and compression are still areas that should be checked.

I am going to work on those 2 today.
thanks Syner. |
Good luck, and post back if you find the issue.

all cylinders where with in 190-180. after doing some more research and talking to some members that had cams installed, they said it should be expected since I haven't got a tune. I really think that is the reason since I drove the car today freeway/city for 1hour+ and code didn't came out. |
Tune or fried ECU.
