Cel
I was wondering if I could get some input from some people about my CEL. I was driving last weekend and hit the redline and got a flashing CEL. I parked the car and started it up and it went away. Next time I drove it when I got up to around 8k rpms a solid CEL came back on. Well I took it to autozone to get the codes read and it came back as a P0300, random misfire. Also I recently had to get the engine replaced, thank god for warranties, and it only has about 1000 miles on it. I was thinking of taking it in to the dealership but they always take forever and I pretty much need a car everyday. So, do you think it is wise to bring it in or to try reseting the ECU ( I really didn't wanna deal with the hassle of having the ECU reprogramming it self to my driving conditions)
Thank You |
Try the ECU reset first. along with the Brake pedal thing. How old are the spark plugs?? How much gas did you have? High RPM driving with less than 1/4 tank can cause issues.

hey tom, don't worry it doesn't sound like anything too serious.
A misfire can happen at high rpm's and usually the culprit is a bad ignition coil. I usually recommend that people change the ignition coils every 20,000 miles or so. (it's about $100 for all 4 and very easy to replace) |
Thanks. I had about a 1/2 of tank. Not really sure how old the spark plugs are but hoping the dealership changed them when they replaced the engine. The car only has about 27k miles.(2005 model)
