A cylinder misfire happens when one or more of your 6 cylinders of your V6 eninge does not fire properly due to lack of fuel, spark or compression. The more cylinders that are not fireing the more violent the shake will be. If enough cylinders are not firing the car will not run. When you have a misfire with this vehicle your check engine light will flash. The engine light, oil light etc... are known as idiot lights. You ask what this means? IT MEANS YOUR VEHICLE NEEDS SERVICING UNLESS YOU WANT A BLOWN ENGINE!!!

What is code P0300 Random Misfire Detected P0302 and P0303 on a Plymouth Neon?
P030* basically means a cylinder has a misfire. P0301 is cylinder #1, P0302 is #2, and so on. P0300 means that there are random misfires caused by a vacuum or compression leak, little or no spark, etc.
Your 99 Explorer's service engine light keeps coming on It's always 4 cylinder misfire cold start changed wire and plug what gives?
Think a little deeper. Combustion that fails is a misfire. You have addressed the spark side of it. There is a fuel and compression possible trouble. Try swapping the fuel injector for that cylinder with another and see if the misfire moves to the other cylinder. Compression test the cylinder to see if it is in specs. Try a cylinder leak down test and see if it is losing compression. Perhaps there is a carbon build up on the valves preventing good seating?
How do you fix a P 0303 cylinder 3 misfire code on a 2004 Ford Mustang Mach 1?
Probably the easiest thing to do is take the cylinder coil and swap it with another cylinder. Start the car and see if the misfire moves to the new cylinder, If it does the problem is either the coil or the plug boot. If it doesn't move, check the spark plug for breaks in the porcelin and plug gap. next check the connection to the cylinder coil. It is most likely the coil but they are a little pricey so it's worth it to take the time to troubleshoot a little. Good luck to you.

there is a good chance you have serious transmission problems
Misfire on cylinder 8 2003 Lincoln navigator?
check wire ,change spark plug.if that doesn't work try a compression check on cylinder if low or weak,it's either a blown head gasket of a cracked cylinder head.very important to check for hairline crack between the valves specially if the compression is altered by more than recommend pressures also could be a broken ring in that cylinder if you have to pull head off look in the cylinder check for pits and deep impressions on cylinder walls.you can pour a little oil in the cylinder and see if it leaks down it shouldn't on a domestic car,
What causes the number 5 cylinder to misfire on a 2000 S430 Mercedes Benz?
Misfire Answer Faulty: spark plug, spark plug wire, ignition coil, ignition module, fuel injector are the most common. Coolant leaking into a cylinder is another. Internal engine problems such as burnt valve, broken valve spring, bent push rod, worn rings Answer this could be anything to do with the cylinder on your car. The plug, the wire, the cap, or the coil (whichever you have.) your best bet is to do a tune up on thecar and do all the plugs, wires, cap, and rotor. if you have a coil pack, try to change those. this is all i can say for now. if that doesn't work, ask the question again and give a little more detail on how the car is acting. Technically speaking, cylinders do not "misfire": the spark plug causes a spark which causes the fuel to ignite which moves the cylinder, so it is the spark plug that may misfire. Given that, motor vehicle spark plugs may misfire due to any of a number of reasons, including watered-down or low-grade fuel, old and/or dirty oil, fouled spark plugs, clogged cylinders, insufficient oxygen to the plugs, poorly aligned cylinders, et al.

What causes cylinder 4 on a Ford V8 Triton to misfire?
Cylinder 4 misfire appears to be a common problem on the Triton V8 especially on trucks. There are several possible causes of misfire ranging from worn spark plug to faulty coils. But that does not address why cylinder 4 seems to be more susceptible to misfire than other cylinders.Different firing arrangements exist depending on the year. I will address this answer toward '97 model year F-150 trucks that have two separate coil packs, one for each cylinder bank, though most of this answer can be broadly applied.Check engine light code P304 indicates cylinder 4 misfire. This is a general cylinder misfire indication, not necessarily a component failure many of which, such as the coils, have separate codes. So let's look at some factors:Cylinder 4 uses one of the longest plug wires on the engine. The longer the wire, typically the higher the resistance. High resistance makes it more difficult for electricity to travel through the wire.On the F-150 cylinder 4 is inconveniently located underneath the cowling making the plug difficult to reach. It is also positioned right below the heater hose connections.Spark plug gap recommended on these engines is very wide .054".This adds up to a cylinder 4 spark that has to fight its way through a long run of high resistance wire to reach a spark plug with a big (huge) gap that it has to jump. By the time the spark reaches the cylinder 4 plug it is tired and just looking for ground.Add to this the last ingredient and you get misfire. That ingredient is water/oil. This can come from a slight leak in the heater hose connections which is directly above cylinder 4, washing the engine, or a minor oil leak.The Solution.Before you spend a dime, remove the spark plug boot. If you see any moisture oil, or water this is most likely the problem. When I say any, I mean any wetness even if it is just a drop. This occurs with surprisingly little amount of moisture present. Remove the spark plug and look for wetness below the hexnut and on the threads. Completely dry the spark plug. Dry the inside and outside of the spark plug boot. If available blow compressed air down into the cylinder 4 plug hole to dry it off. If it is a reoccurring problem reduce the gap on the plug slightly and reinstall all parts.You will immediately feel the difference if this is the problem.Happy motoringwww.rcsefi.org
