    What Does P0311 Mean?

    A misfire in a vehicle’s engine is a simple lack of combustion, which has a number of potential causes. The P0311 code is a means for the PCM to store the fact that Cylinder 11 misfired. With this code, a mechanic can determine the cause and proper repair(s) for the problem so that the cylinder does not continue to misfire in the future.

    What are the common causes of P0311 ?

    Ignition system component failure is the most common cause when this code is stored in the PCM. Ignition system components, including spark plugs, plug wires and boots, and ignition coils are most often the culprit but beware of other causes, as well. These include lean conditions caused by insufficient fuel pressure, excessive engine vacuum leak/s, EGR system malfunction, clogged catalytic converter/s, or faulty fuel injectors.

    How do you troubleshoot P0311 ?

    Pack the connector cavity with dielectric silicone compound (same stuff they use for light bulb sockets and spark plug wires) and reassemble. With the valve disconnected, the red voltmeter lead should be attached to the IMRC valve power wire and the black voltmeter lead connected to ground.

    Process Tips

    Diagnostic trouble code P0311 is not difficult to diagnose and repair. Thus, it always pays to have a qualified technician to look after your vehicle should this error code arise.

    Diagnosing this code requires the engine to be in good running shape, without unmetered air entering the engine. If other codes that relates to misfiring condition, lean running or air entering the engine is present, then you must first fix those error codes before P0311.

    Fortunately, P0311 is a fairly common OBD code, meaning that it applies to all makes and models of vehicles made after 1996.
