Re: P0301 Code - Cylinder #1 Misfire

The coolant reservoir system works on a siphon principle, and will not work if there's a leak in the pressurized part of the system. All indications point to a leaking head gasket (misfires, coolant consumption). The radiator cap is probably not the problem, and replacing it certainly won't affect ...

Re: P0301 Code - Cylinder #1 Misfire

There is something else that I want to share with Cylinder Misfire, a couple days ago, my vibe shown Misfire code again, there were like P0301 and P0303 at the time I read the codes with my ODB2 reader, it drove me crazy as I don't know what to do, gauge went up and down, check engine lights on, the...

Help w/ coolant not getting sucked in by radiator

Hi, currently, I'm using a dropper to refill some coolant to radiator through the pipe with the radiator cap on the top.

Please advise, thanks in advance.

Re: P0301 Code - Cylinder #1 Misfire

Sorry for report back late, got colleague's ODB2 reader to check if there is any code at the noon. Looks like the issue had gone. The check engine did not lights up for two weeks.

Re: P0301 Code - Cylinder #1 Misfire

Went to a friend's auto shop, he replaced 4 spark plugs for me, he added some coolants as well. he told me to monitor if those issues still remain in the next couple days, the strange thing is I don't know why the coolants were gone again(added in January) because I didn't see there is any leaking o...

Re: Right front CV boot leaking

Take care of your engine over heating problem before the CV boot. Find out the total cost of repairs to see if the car is even worth spending money on. You may be better off cutting your losses now then spending money that you will never get back on repairs. Yeah, I don't really want to spend anoth...

Re: P0301 Code - Cylinder #1 Misfire

You have blown head gasket or a cracked cylinder head. Your pushing the coolant out or burning it up. It is most likely related to cylinder #1 by your code of a misfire on that cylinder as coolant does not burn so you get a misfire. It looks like you will be looking for a new car sooner than you th...

Re: P0301 Code - Cylinder #1 Misfire

Other than 1: a faulty thermostat that needs replacing, or 2: a cracked head gasket, my thought while reading your post was to ask whether you recently flushed out your radiator and replaced the fluid? Reason? : if the car was not properly "burped," air pockets can send your thermostat ga...

Re: Right front CV boot leaking

First, there are inner and outer constant velocity joint boots, two on each side. It is common, especially the outer ones closest to the tire, for them to tear or crack especially when driving on gravel roads and in winter conditions where ice can also slice away at the rubber. Second, it is not oi...
