P0301

Getting P0301 misfire cylinder 1, check engine light on, flashing check engine light. Car runs great no missing or hestiations. Took to shop they can't figure out, changed plugs, swapped coil packs didn't follow, ohmed out injectors all 13 ohms Any ideas

Thanks

I doubt the computer is lying.
Low cylinder contribution is still considered a misfire.


Took to shop they can't figure out
Shop must be broken. Suggest replace with a smarter shop.



Any ideas
I'll suggest to begin with a compression test.

Update on P0301 misfire cyliner 1, compression check good, adjusted valves and it still comes back. Another shop "we don't know what to do with it" Maybe it is time to go back to domestic cars!

Re: P0301

Just because a shop or two can't solve the problem does not mean the problem is unsolvable. You just haven't found the person that CAN fix it yet.


Reality: Solving problems and fixing cars is not what generates the most revenue in a typical shop.
Thus, finding someone that can actually solve your problems may be rather tough if you don't know how to find that person.






Post the freeze frame data please.
