P0300 confustion
Answer
what color are the plugs? did you do an individual coil/cyl spark test?
The plug color? It was black, almost fouled but only on cylinder 1 and 4.
I'm not sure how to do a ind. spark test on it as its one single coil pack
I'm not sure what you mean by the plug color? the #1 and 4 were foulded out if that was what you were asking.
I'm not sure how to do an ind. spark test as its a single coil pack and there is only a spring that moves the current from the coil pack to the plug, held in place by pressure when you screw the coil pack down
so you have/had 1&4 which has their own coil fouling out. have you checked plugs since you changed them? did you change ignition module? do you have good spark on 1&4 now?
1&4 don't have their own coil pack, its one long strip that connects to all four cylinders. I did recheck the plugs and 1&4 had a heavy carbon build up. I cleaned them off and reinstalled. I did not change the ignition module as I assumed that if it went bad it would deliver no spark at all. I don't actually know that i'm getting good spark in any cylinder because I don't know if i can or how to do an ind spark test on a coil pack of that type
