Threw a p0300 code today was gonna take it to a dealer ship but said i had to take it tomorrow and wait about a hour so I took it to advanced and they did it in ten minutes. Its a random miss fire. The guy said it could be the crank shaft positioning censor so if it is im gonna be pissed because it was replaced a week after i got the car because it shut off one me any thoughts on what it is????

 

eh, a p0300 can be caused by numerous things....anything from a crank sensor, to a bad coil, to a vacuum leak to plugs, bad gas, etc.......

 

Take it to the dealer so they can WARRANTY it

 

thats what im doin on wednesday cuz i have work tomorrow

 

OR a cracked piston...

 

not cool. Good thing i know the service manager

 

lemon law it!!

 

needs to happen one more time

 

update clogged fuel injectors

 

Sorry to bring this back but i searched and this and onlly 2 other threads came up so. Instead of here you guys bitch about searching i brought this one back. My ******* car turned off and when i tried to start it it acted like it wanted to and shook really bad then died, then got it started and rpm gauge didntg work then died again, after while got it started and it runs fine no check engine light... Had similar expierence and it was the crank shaft positioing censor. I think its that again but supoosedly it was fixed by dimmit..

so any thoughts?

 

wow, who knows, possibly the same sensor, you know what u could do, is mark the sensor with like a permanent marker, take it in complain about it, have them "replace" it, and then go to look see if the "marked" sensor was replaced? a thought!

later

 

knowing dimmit i should try that but im lil stupid when it come to that and dont know exactly where it is

 

wanna help me take off spoiler tomm? i can see if i can locate it on your car? anyone know where the sensor is located?

 

yeah sure the ****** car goes in at 930 then helpin jarod detail his car so he can sell it pretty free all day. One more time and i get a new car!!

 

yeah well if you can find the sensor mark it, i will be doing it early, got school all day so..

 

dat sucks hit me up il be up at like730 cleaning out the garage so hopefully i can keep my car in there. My ******* dad tunr on the sprinklers and that reclaimed water gets on my car and is a bitch to get off

 

Its on the transmission side. Here is a picture of the reluctor ring on the crank:



I don't have a picture of the actual sensor, but it should be easy to find. It will be the one closest to the seam between the engine and the trans.

 

i got the same **** recently for crank and cam sensor. Same sympotoms as yours. two days later it went away though

 

i've thrown that code before, no biggie.
