P0300 & P0302 Codes - need your input
My 99 Corolla CE developed a misfire coming home a few weeks ago after work. The engine light came on, and blinks when I'm driving. I went to AutoZone and they read me the codes: P0300 & P0302
I believe it's misfire specific to cylinder #2.
I have checked the following:
air filter - OK
spark plug - swapped and changed - OK
ignition wire #2 - checked resistance per Toyo service manual - OK
DIS module #2 - checked resistance per Toyo service manual - OK
I did an ignition check with above parts, and have confirmation that above parts are working as they should.
compression test #2 cylinder - did this a few times and I'm holding pressure - no air leaks from what I've seen; depending how long I crank it I get incremental pressure range from 170-210 PSI, similar reading to #1 cylinder.
I need to know what else should I check to find the cause of this miss-fire.
Here's some other info possibly of relevance:
- 48k miles on engine
- engine vibrates more during idle then smooths out at 30+Mph and above 2k RPM when driving
- #2 spark plug looks a little oily-wet compared to others
- no oil flooding in the #2 cylinder
- sometimes no difference heard if I unplug #2 injector while idling; but I leave it plugged because I get excessive engine vibrations running on 3 cylinders only.
- exhaust sounds off-beat and faint poping
I'm thinking of checking the following, but need help from experienced people:
- fuel injector - how to check if it's bad or clogged?
- cam valves or timing - can this cause my problem?
- DIS module - is delaying ignition possibly?
- anything else you can recommend I look into?
