    What Does P0301 Mean?

    A misfire is just what it sounds like; a cylinder that is not firing as it should. The P0301 code is caused by a misfire on the number one cylinder. The Misfire monitor diagnostic is based on variation in crankshaft velocity. The PCM determines this information using the crankshaft position sensor and camshaft position sensor. A misfiring cylinder slows down momentarily, so by monitoring the cam and crank sensor signals, the PCM can calculate when a misfire occurs. A P0301 code tells you only that a misfire has been detected, not WHY the cylinder is misfiring. That’s why with this code, a thorough diagnosis is mandatory.

    What are the common causes of P0301 ?
    • Faulty spark plug 1
    • Clogged or faulty fuel injector 1
    • Faulty ignition coil 1
    • Fuel injector 1 harness is open or shorted
    • Fuel injector 1 circuit poor electrical connection
    • Ignition coil 1 harness is open or shorted
    • Ignition coil 1 circuit poor electrical connection
    • Insufficient cylinder 1 compression
    • Incorrect fuel pressure
    • Intake air leak
    How do you troubleshoot P0301 ?

    Like the all engines, the car engine system employs specially developed hydraulic lifters (known as switching roller followers) for the P0301 code intake and exhaust valves. The lifters can be collapsed by disengaging an internal locking pin. The locking pin is disengaged using solenoids to alter oil pressure fed into the lifter.
