01 nightmare
I will warn you now, this post will end up being a book! Ok, start at beginning, 01 with the 3.1 6cyl. First thing that started this nightmare is I was noticing a bit of a hiccup after driving for a couple miles. We've only had the car a few months and not sure what maintenance was done so we thought maybe it needed a tune up. Before I got the parts the check engine light came on so I went to parts store to get it read, it was P0302. Did the wires and plugs and it got worse, the code wasnt p0302 now its just p0300. But after the plugs it also started idling really rough and would be slow to shift. Once it tacked up high and wasnt speeding up. That was only once tho. Also now it has no power its like driving a 2cyl lol.
Anyway we decided since the first code said 2 we replaced coil 2, no help..ok, fuel filter and fuel injector 2, no help. Also has cleaned various things Im not sure of the technical name for..sensors and air filters and other things.
None of this has helped the car still idles very bad and doesnt have the power it should have. Also cleaned things on fuel rail(?). He is in the process of replacing the crank sensor as someone said if it was all the way bad it would throw a different code but it may just be faulty.
Im about ready to throw my hands in the air and give up. Anyone have any other helpful input. When I first got it it ran and drove wonderful, now ugh! And if we ever get this fixed we have to find out whats eating the inside of my back tires!
