Discussion
I would love to gather all mechanics in a matrix room & learn.
Whats going on maybe I can help
2016 Rogue 86k miles
Pleb states:
Starts like crap, then runs completely fine. P0300 code at startup. Replaced spark plugs, code came back. Replaced ignition coils, code came back. Even compressions 160. Historical past misfires Cylinder 1:0 C2:6 C3:4 C4:22. Battery fine. New oil. New air filter. Been going in and out of the mechanic for 2 weeks now. Today (first time) gasoline smell at startup. Starts way worse when engine cold, better when engine hot. Not burning oil, not burning coolant. Drives totally fine, but it's been starting rough then 5-10 seconds later totally fine. Idles fine when stopped, problems only when starting. No other codes at all. Sometimes it starts just fine, but been getting progressively worse. More bad starts now than good starts.
Ok so what causes p0300 is what you siad and if you changed them and still have the issue some how you must gotten water in the gas tank because of humidity or water got in the injectors and you need to add something called heet and make sure you got the right spark plugs because the gap is different in the 2.3 liter engine than the 2.5 liter engine
P0300 code is only these problems and when it's running hot the little bit of water is burning and becoming vapor so the car runs great
nice you r here now
