Fu P0300!!!!

After my third "p0300 flash" from the dealer.......guess what pops up again after a thousand miles.



Im getting tired of having to reflash this problem. Other than the HKS cat-back exhaust and Eibach springs everything else is stock. What a headache!

actually don't need to do that.. simply buy that little 02 sensor that tricks the stock ECU.. I think it runs $20 and once in no more P0300 code

change your plugs or at least check them...

Every time I change my plugs I'll get the p0300 if I dont have it gapped just right. My car seems to like .26 with any iridium.

Thumbs up

You should create a list of owners who have this problem and petition mitsubishi.

I remember when I had a 1.8T GTI, the VW community did this and they got a recall for the faulty window regulators and ignition coil packs.

Hope this helps. Good luck.

Technically you're correct (they are mods), but IMHO I believe those mods would not have any effect on performance.
