how to fix P0300 misfire code in Genesis G70 IG (2017-2023)

Solution

1. Preparation

• Gather all necessary tools and parts.
• Ensure the vehicle is parked on a flat surface and the engine is cool.
• Disconnect the negative battery terminal to prevent electrical shorts.

2. Replace Spark Plugs

• Tools Required: Socket set, torque wrench, spark plug socket.
• Remove the ignition coil cover (if applicable) by unscrewing any bolts.
• Disconnect the electrical connectors from each ignition coil.
• Remove the ignition coils using a socket.
• Unscrew the old spark plugs using a spark plug socket and inspect them for wear.
• Install new spark plugs, ensuring they are gapped correctly per manufacturer specifications (typically around 0.028 inches for G70).
• Torque the spark plugs to the manufacturer’s specification (usually around 13-15 lb-ft).
• Reinstall the ignition coils and reconnect the electrical connectors.

3. Inspect and Replace Ignition Coils (if necessary)

• If ignition coils showed signs of damage during the previous inspection, replace them.
• Tools Required: Socket set, torque wrench.
• Remove the faulty ignition coils as previously described.
• Install new ignition coils and torque them to manufacturer specifications (usually around 7 lb-ft).

4. Check and Clean Fuel Injectors

• Tools Required: Fuel pressure gauge, fuel injector cleaner.
• Connect a fuel pressure gauge to the fuel rail and check the pressure against manufacturer specifications (typically 50-60 psi).
• If fuel pressure is low, consider replacing the fuel filter or fuel pump.
• Clean fuel injectors using a fuel injector cleaning kit or replace them if they are clogged.

5. Inspect Vacuum Lines and Intake Manifold

• Visually inspect all vacuum lines for cracks or loose connections.
• Replace any damaged vacuum lines.
• Check the intake manifold gasket for leaks and replace if necessary.
