Ignition & Misfire Fault Codes

Spark plug, ignition coil, and cylinder misfire fault codes.

Diagnostic Approach — Ignition & Misfire

  1. 1

    Identify which cylinder(s) are misfiring from the specific P030x code.

  2. 2

    Swap ignition coil to adjacent cylinder — if misfire follows, coil is faulty.

  3. 3

    Inspect spark plug for fouling, wear, or damage.

  4. 4

    Perform compression test — low compression indicates mechanical issue.

  5. 5

    Check injector pulse with noid light if coil and plug test good.
