1. Ignition Coil Pack Failure
Fault code:
P0300 indicates random/multiple cylinder misfires, while P0301–P0304 specify misfires in cylinders 1 through 4, often caused by ignition, fuel, or compression issues.
Why it happens:
Ignition coil failure occurs due to excessive heat, voltage surges, worn insulation, moisture damage, or carbon buildup, leading to weak or inconsistent spark delivery.
Symptoms:
- Engine misfires: Rough idling, hesitation, or loss of power.
- Difficulty starting: Hard starts or failure to start due to weak ignition.
- Poor fuel economy: Increased fuel consumption from inefficient combustion.
- Reduced acceleration: Sluggish performance and unresponsive throttle.
- Check Engine Light (CEL) activation: Fault codes such as P0300–P0304 for misfires.
- Backfiring or unusual exhaust smells: Indicating incomplete combustion.
- Visible coil damage: Cracks, burns, or corrosion on the ignition coil.
