4. Attempt to start the engine and observe the J 26792 - Tester. The spark tester should spark.
瀚慖f there is no spark, test the spark plug wire for the correct resistance, refer to Ignition System Specifications (See: Powertrain
Management/Ignition System/Specifications) and Spark Plug Wire Inspection (See: Engine, Cooling and Exhaust/Engine/Tune-up and
Engine Performance Checks/Ignition Cable/Testing and Inspection).
瀚慖f the spark plug wire tests normal, refer to Electronic Ignition System Diagnosis (See: Powertrain Management/Computers and Control
Systems/Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/Electronic Ignition System Diagnosis) for diagnosis of the
ignition coil.
5. Ignition OFF, remove the spark plug from the misfiring cylinder. Verify that the following conditions do not exist with the spark plug:
* Gas, coolant, or oil fouled
* Cracked, worn, or incorrectly gapped-Refer to Spark Plug Inspection (See: Engine, Cooling and Exhaust/Engine/Tune-up and Engine
Performance Checks/Spark Plug/Testing and Inspection).
瀚慖f there is a condition with the spark plug, replace the spark plug.
6. Exchange the suspected spark plug with another cylinder that is operating correctly.
7. Operate the engine under the conditions in which the misfire occurred. This may include putting the engine under a load or allowing the
engine to return to a cold condition. Observe the Misfire Current Counters with a scan tool. The misfire should not follow the spark plug
exchange.
瀚慖f the misfire follows with the spark plug, replace the spark plug.
8. If all conditions test normal, test or inspect for the following:
* A lean or rich fuel injector-Refer to Fuel Injector Diagnosis (CH47976) (See: Powertrain Management/Fuel Delivery and Air
Induction/Fuel Injector/Testing and Inspection)Fuel Injector Diagnosis (J39021 or Scan Tool) (See: Powertrain Management/Fuel
Delivery and Air Induction/Fuel Injector/Testing and Inspection).
* An engine mechanical condition-Refer to Symptoms - Engine Mechanical (See: Engine, Cooling and Exhaust/Engine/Testing and
Inspection/Symptom Related Diagnostic Procedures/Symptoms - Engine Mechanical).
Repair Instructions
* Spark Plug Wire Replacement (See: Engine, Cooling and Exhaust/Engine/Tune-up and Engine Performance Checks/Ignition Cable/Service
and Repair)
* Spark Plug Replacement (See: Engine, Cooling and Exhaust/Engine/Tune-up and Engine Performance Checks/Spark Plug/Service and
Repair)
Repair Verification
1. Install any components that have been removed or replaced during diagnosis.
2. Clear the DTCs.
3. Turn OFF the ignition for 60 seconds.
4. If the repair was related to a DTC, duplicate the Conditions for Running the DTC and use the Freeze Frame/Failure Records, if applicable, in
order to verify the DTC does not reset. If the DTC resets or another DTC is present, refer to the Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List -
Vehicle (See: Diagnostic Trouble Code Descriptions/Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle) and perform the appropriate diagnostic
procedure.
5. To verify that the performance of the catalytic converter has not been affected by the condition that set this DTC, perform the Repair
Verification for DTCs P0420 and P0430. Refer to DTC P0420 or P0430 (See: P Code Charts/P0420).
P0307
DTC P0300-P0308
