What to do if your engine code is not p0301?
Use FIXD to scan your vehicle to verify P0301 is the only code present. If other codes are present, they must be addressed first. Check for loose connectors at the ignition coils or for damaged wiring (specifically cylinder 1). Look for loose engine ground wires as well. These can cause random misfire conditions. Tighten or connect where necessary.
