malimx6 Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 CEL came back i can feel misfire at idle again. I will borrow my friend's scanner tool this week to ensure it's the same code. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billnyeflyinby Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 Mine is misfiring between 2900 and 3100rpms i dunno wtf it could be because I just had the leaks sealed, put in new oil, and ya it should be all good but its not. Help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malimx6 Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 Same code. P0302. I think I will just order the new fuel injector. If this is a notorious problem on our cars and i already changed the plugs (crappy bosch and ngk from dealership and misfired on both plugs), swapped the coils couple of times, changed the injector seals (maybe i should do this again?), the only thing left is the injector. oh, i also did a compression check. I'm not sure what else it could be. I know the best would be to swap out injectors. Maybe I will try that, but i don't wanna be messing around and creating more problems...like have it misfire on one more cylinder lol thx! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xt2005bonbon Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 Did you ever swap injectors? I can't remember. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malimx6 Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 No I didn't I was kind of afraid of removing another injector, i don't wanna mess up the orings and start having misfire on another cyl. lol but you're right, swapping injectors will tell me if that's the problem. I might have to do that tomorrow :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malimx6 Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 is it possible that i didn't install orings properly? or could there be a reason for orings to keep failing? when i installed new orings, everything was fine for last like 3-4 months. Engine idling was much smoother too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xt2005bonbon Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 mmh I don't think so. If you can, I would swap injectors. Just lube the orings real well before putting the injectors back in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malimx6 Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 sry for not replying, i was away for the weekend. I will try today and install new orings. I will lube them with engine oil, not sure if there is anything better to use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wikedcobra312 Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 I had this for a little bit, but after spark plug change and new coils, all is well with mine. Good luck on yours Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninjak Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 I'm running into this on my 2005 turbo wagon. Super rough idles, misfire happens a few minutes after starting, always cylinder 2. I tried the usual -- replaced coil pack #2 + all plugs, no help! Here's the weird thing -- I do 90% of my driving in city, stop & go, 50 MPH max. I took a ~400 mile drive to Tahoe and back during winter and I noticed immediately that my idle was no longer rough and the CEL went away and didn't come back! I thought it was due to the altitude... a few days later, back at home, idle was crap again and back to constant misfire. After a few months of this, I drove ~100 freeway miles each way to Santa Cruz this weekend. Now back at home, idle is super smooth and the CEL is GONE. Probably it will be back in a few days... Summary: Long freeway drives make my crap idle + misfire go away temporarily. Does that make sense at all?!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wagonation Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 Check all the vacuum lines? Usually the culprit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's kind of something I've noticed from being on here all these years. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs. (SOLD).
