I no longer have a clue what is causing my misfires. I went to Autozone and got my car diagnosed. They said it was code P0300. I DID search this in the archive, and all it says for code P0300 is "Engine Misfire Detected". I am pissed because this is all I have to go on to figure out what is wrong. I have replaced wires, plugs, coils, everything short on the ignition module. I would like to think that is not the module, but I am leaning towards that because it is the only thing I haven't replaced yet. If anyone has a clue about the code or what is wrong, let me know.

I had the same thing happen to me. My cat was getting clogged and throwing off misfire codes. It got so bad it wouldnt rev past 3 grand and autozones ODBII detected multiple random missfires.
Another thing to try would be to change the fuel filter and add a can of STP Complete Fuel System Cleaner to a full tank of gas. This cleared up a P0300 problem I had in my Olds Ciera. I spent quite some time troubleshooting it - did the wires, coils, even the ignition module - but the problem was just a crapped up fuel system.
anyone thought of the fuel pressure regulator? I had this problem with my car and I've had two sets of plug wires and new plugs before they finally found the cause. My cat also shelled out because of that darn regulator too. Just an idea.
Nitrous is like a hot chick with an STD....you wanna hit it, but you\'re affraid of the consequences...<br /><br /> <a href=\"http://www.cardomain.com/member_pages/view_page.pl?page_id=244935\" target=\"_blank\">http://www.cardomain.com/member_pages/view_page.pl?page_id=244935</a>
The fuel pressure regulator was what I suspected on my car (see above) after eliminating all possible ignition related problems. Since I didn't have a pressure guage to test it, I decided to try the filter and fuel treatment first, and it worked. But it is true, a bad regulator (or even a bad fuel pump for that matter) can cause similar problems. What I think happened in my case was that the filter was so clogged, it was affecting fuel system pressure. Since the car is MPFI, it did not exhibit the characteristics of a clogged filter that I was used to seeing with older TBI-equipped cars (complete stall, unable to restart for a few minutes, etc...)
I didn't think to check the cat. I might do that.
I usually run fuel system cleaner through the car after every oil change. But the idea of the regulator also gets me thinking.
Thanks guys [img]smile.gif[/img]

ok... same here... 96 camaro... i replace plugs, wires and coils... 2k miles ago i redid my ENTIRE exhaust system so i know it's not the cat... what else could cause this.....
I haven't had a chance to check the cat or regulator, but if it isn't one of those, then the only thing I can think of is crossfiring. I'll have to check that tomorrow.

Haven’t done anything on the Camaro, but put LEDs on my truck headlights . And my oil pressure sensor went out on the truck so going to fix that this...
