OBD II Reader

Bad Boy · 02-16-2015, 12:51 AM

I just bought an OBD code reader because I get the P0300 every few weeks and would like to get it reset without having to drive to AutoZone.

Any-who... Does anyone know about the emissions codes? At first the C, O, and EV where all flashing. Then I drove with the computer plugged in and the C and O stayed constant while the EV still flashes.
Also the Pending light is on for the emissions...

Does this mean anything? what should I check for?

I only get the P0300 Random Engine Misfire, The car drives fine and everything so I havent bothered going to mechanics and have them guess whats wrong...

I just had to deal with a P0300 code. It could be a few things but I figured since I am already at 58k miles it was time for a spark plug change. Honestly, just change your plugs and you "should" be fine. Ive heard this code is a biznatch for some. The job itself is quite simple and easy to do! Check the DIY section for instructions.

When I had this code, it was related to a faulty Coil Pack.

Ill probably change my spark plugs when I have time, during spring break.

Some emissions checks take a few miles to clear. I'm guessing that the EV light is "emissions ready" and it will go out after a while.

If all else fails, RTFM.
