Hi everyone! This is the first Toyota/Pontiac vehicle that I have purchased. I still own two other Hondas but based on the quality and specs of this incredible wagon, I wanted to give it a try! I currently own a 2003 Vibe base model, AWD, automatic. After driving the car for a day or two, I am getting codes P0301, and P0420. I have a trouble code scanner and erased the two codes. I started the car again and I immediately got code P0301P. This I understand that is a pending P0301 code: "Cylinder 1 One Misfire Detected". I changed the spark plugs but I am still getting the same error code. I know guys that this should be an easy one for you Vibe gurus! LOL... Please help out a New Vibe owner! Thanks!
Solution: I started switching parts (coils, spark plugs, fuel injectors) around to different cylinders. Nothing happened when switching other parts except fuel injectors. When I moved the injector 1 to cylinder 4, the trouble code went to cylinder 4. I replaced the bad injector and so far no problem. No codes. As far as the P0420, I will drive the Vibe for some time and to see if this code was related to the bad injector. The vibe drives very well now. No shacking! I hope this thread could help somebody else!
