Common mistakes when diagnosing the P0307 code A common mistake is neglecting to rule out all of the possible causes for the misfire condition. Low compression could be caused by a blown head gasket, cracked piston rings, a crack in the cylinder wall, worn valve seats, and essentially anything else that would allow air to rush out of the cylinder. Taking time to address the other possible causes of the misfiring condition during the diagnostic process may save a lot of time.
The blue nozzles are injectors. For example: move 7 plug to 5, and 7 coil to 3. If your plugs are not grasping the pins then you will have a misfire. The first secondary ignition firing event is turned into a sea of solid blue, and it looks like we have times where the secondary voltage goes high and then very low. If it is, here are a few steps to go through to find out the cause. In this example, cylinder 3 shows reduced rpm, which indicates that cylinder 3 is not contributing as much as the other cylinders. Ford Mustang or Ranger or 2.
I replaced my spark plugs, Wires, Coil packs both of them and all my fuil. Back pressure from the exhaust disrupts the combustion process and puts strain on the the engine and causes misfires. This is not common, but should be considered as a possibility when other diagnostic measures have not resolved the misfire condition. That Yamaha motor from what I have found collects tons of gunk on the valve stems. Engine cylinders with low compression due to wear and tear will misfire under load. Here are four likely engine-related issues.
When I unplug any other coil it runs worse. The damage scales with engine speed and exhaust volume. Eventually, a coil pack failed completely, set a code, and we were able to isolate it. Also this failure can occur when removing the spark plugs for renewal. . What repairs can fix the P0307 code? Once the fuel injector is turned off, the cylinder is now basically an air pump, which reduces the potential for catalyst failure.
Inside the rubber spark boot is a spring connecting the coil to the spark plug. For many techs, this is where a good day usually turns bad really fast. This engine represents large evolution of design. The Actual column displays the value for the last test performed. The white area in the photo indicates a burn-through in the rubber boot where the secondary voltage escaped.
This makes the cylinder heads spark plugs strip clean out, leaving a small hole and no way to re-install a new spark plug. For example, the screen capture in Fig. Here is where I am currently - when it was throwing code it was the 7 misfire- I have since replaced the injector plugs and swapped coils on 7.

An engine needs four things in order to make.
You roll back into the shop and continue following a good diagnostic procedure by performing a thorough visual inspection of items related to engine performance. The key to efficient driveability diagnostics is thorough system understanding. For that reason, checking the spark plugs is a shortcut towards checking engine health. Aug 12, 2015 My sincere apologies for the delayed response. Ford use a cast iron engine block with an overhead cam aluminium cylinder head design, that uses centrally mounted spark plugs and waste spark ignition. This is primarily due to the misfire count not exceeding the limit.
This results in a poor spray pattern, low fuel flow, and misfiring. The end result of this design flow is that the rear most sparks shoot out of the cylinder head while driving or get stuck while trying to remove them, and when hard steel sticks to soft aluminium, the aluminium will initially give way first. Misfires happen for several reasons, but most of them relate to the delivery of spark, air, or fuel to the cylinders. By - November 19, 2014 Contributors: This article applies to the Ford F-150 2004-2014 and the F-250, F-350 Super Duty 2005-2014. This fuel filter is filthy and should be replaced.
