Anybody get this code yet? I know some causes for it but I also know that the misfire code can come on even without a misfire. Anybody get this light and had it checked out?

 

Has anyone else seen this? I just got this code on my car with 3300 miles on it. I cleared it to see if it comes back.

 

yeah i got this code....P0300 with 5.5k on the odo....got it about two weeks ago...i cleared it and it never came back....i am going to make a grounding kit to help with the idle and reving....although it could have just been some bad gas....

any input on the cause?????????

 

I did notice that when I got this code it was humid as **** outside. I think I narrowed my particular case down to either running lean in the humidity (SAFC), bad gas, or not torquing down the plugs to spec (18lbs).

 

what tool are you using to download these codes?

 

I went to Autozone and they scanned it for free.

 

damn autozone wouldn't let me borrow a OBD tool i had to buy one.....

 

stinkapuss you replaced the plugs? or just checked to see if the stock ones were torqued correctly

 

I replaced the plugs and tq them down to 12 lbs. I went back and tq them down to 18lbs after I had the same cel 3 separate times. Haven't had a cel since but its also cooler weather.

 

I had this CEL code also. The dealer called techline and they said it's the first time they heard of it on a car this early (1200 miles). I have no mods on the car. The CEL came on when I was going WOT on a humid wet day. They tell me that it happens when I hit the rev limiter (did not). They cleared the code and told me to come back if it happens again. Hasn't happened again but I haven't driven my car hard yet.

 

I have this code right now. I have a pretty serious boost leak(see thread) and the boost leak caused it. I an clear it and then go for a beat run and when the boost actually leaks the light comes on and I have to clear it again. This is a very univercal FC though and could be caused by many things.
