L4V15 Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Hi. I've just filmed my flashing CEL fault code hoping that somebody on here can tell me what it means. If anybody can read them would it be ok if I email the video to you from my phone. As I don't have a clue how to upload a video onto here.

spursmaddave Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 It looks like 0300 which is Random Missfire which kind of goes with what you said... I am no expert but I found the following Hopefully someone a lot more knowledgable can help DTC P0300 - P0306 MULTIPLE CYLINDER MISFIRE, NO. 1 - 6 CYLINDER MISFIRE On Board Diagnosis Logic When a misfire occurs, engine speed will fluctuate. If the engine speed fluctuates enough to cause the crankshaft position (CKP) sensor (POS) signal to vary, ECM can determine that a misfire is occurring. The misfire detection logic consists of the following two conditions. 1. One Trip Detection Logic (Three Way Catalyst Damage) On the first trip that a misfire condition occurs that can damage the three way catalyst (TWC) due to overheating, the MIL will blink. When a misfire condition occurs, the ECM monitors the CKP sensor signal every 200 engine revolutions for a change. When the misfire condition decreases to a level that will not damage the TWC, the MIL will turn off. If another misfire condition occurs that can damage the TWC on a second trip, the MIL will blink. When the misfire condition decreases to a level that will not damage the TWC, the MIL will remain on. If another misfire condition occurs that can damage the TWC, the MIL will begin to blink again. 2. Two Trip Detection Logic (Exhaust quality deterioration) For misfire conditions that will not damage the TWC (but will affect vehicle emissions), the MIL will only light when the misfire is detected on a second trip. During this condition, the ECM monitors the CKP sensor signal every 1,000 engine revolutions. A misfire malfunction can be detected on any one cylinder or on multiple cylinders. DTC No. Trouble diagnosis name DTC detecting condition Possible cause P0300 P0300 Multiple cylinder misfire detected Multiple cylinder misfire. Improper spark plug Insufficient compression Incorrect fuel pressure The injector circuit is open or shorted Fuel injectors Intake air leak The ignition signal circuit is open or shorted Lack of fuel Signal plate Heated oxygen sensor 1 Incorrect PCV hose connection Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jez @ H-Dev Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Fault code is as above. You'll need to check the items in the list at the end of the above post. It can also can be caused by a dodgy crank trigger sensor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveparkin Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 When did your car last have the plugs changed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L4V15 Posted February 13, 2012 Author Share Posted February 13, 2012 only about a month ago. Are you thinking they may be incorrect plugs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spursmaddave Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Worth checking anything you have had done recently i.e. since it was ok and now the error codes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
