Re: P0300 code has emptied my checking account. Help!

Now I can get down to configuring the van for my use. I've removed all seats except for driver seat, put a very dark tint on all windows except driver, passenger and wind shield. Made and installed block out curtains for all windows, installed four 5v 3A USB chargers in the doghouse. Now to add a ge...

Re: P0300 code has emptied my checking account. Help!

If it runs fine and is getting average fuel economy, drive it! Well problem was when ever it threw a code the torque converter would unlock, my rpm's when up by about 300 and my HiWay MPG would not get better than 15mpg. Now I'm getting 20 mpg HiWay. What do you do for disaster areas? I inspect hom...

Re: P0300 code has emptied my checking account. Help!

It's fixed. Got it back from dealer still trowing P0300 at about 2k rpm. Decided to remove 1/16" spacer I'd installed on the crank position sensor back with the old engine because the sensor showed some light rubbing on the end, at the time thought that might have been the reason I was getting ...

CMP = Timing advance

Chasing a P0300 code that comes up every time the engine makes 1600+ rpm. My scanner (andriod Torque app) is showing a timing advance of 15.5° at idle, that goes up to 46° when accelerating. Is CMP the same as Timing advance?

You'll probably have to surender your title and deal t with a salvage title, check your state to see whats involved re regerstering it and retitling it to a rebuilt. Also check your insurance company, Ive ...

Scanned the codes and was showing a P0306 (misfire #6) and a P0300 a few rare times. Seems the van would throw one of these codes right at 2000 rpm no exc...
