Code 301 is cylinder # 1 misfire. You don't need to keep replacing coil packs until you find out why they are going bad. Now if you are buying these coils at a parts store that sells inferior foreign made parts, "can't say the name", then this may very well be the problem. If you know this is not the case, then take this to a technician that can see why they are going bad. The coils are going bad for a reason. Find that reason and problem solved.

Check the fuse and the connections first. If the fuse and connections are good, then turn on the A/C. If the fan does not run, then apply 12 volts directly to the fan. If it still does not run it is defective. If it runs then the thermal relay is defective and needs replacing.
