Component
Engine
Repair Time
2-4 hours

Safety Warnings

  • ⚠Disconnect the battery before working on electrical systems.
  • ⚠Allow the engine to cool before performing any mechanical work.

Symptoms

  • •Check engine light illuminated
  • •Rough idle
  • •Decreased acceleration or power
  • •Engine stalling intermittently
  • •Increased fuel consumption
  • •Possible engine vibration

Diagnostic Steps

  1. 1Scan for error codes using an OBD-II scanner to confirm the P0302 code and check for any additional codes.
  2. 2Inspect the ignition components for cylinder 2, including the spark plug, ignition coil, and wiring.
  3. 3Check the fuel injector for cylinder 2 for proper operation and any blockages.
  4. 4Conduct a compression test on cylinder 2 to determine engine mechanical integrity.
  5. 5Inspect vacuum hoses and intake manifold for leaks that could affect cylinder performance.
  6. 6Review engine data parameters with a scan tool during operation to observe real-time data for cylinder 2.

Solution

Solution

1. Preparation

  • Gather necessary tools and parts.
  • Disconnect the battery to prevent electrical shock and avoid short circuits.

2. Inspect and Replace Ignition Components

  • Tools Required: Socket set, torque wrench, spark plug gap tool.
  • Remove the engine cover (if applicable).
  • Unplug the ignition coil connector for cylinder 2.
  • Remove the ignition coil using a socket (typically 10mm).
  • Inspect the spark plug; if worn or fouled, replace it with a new one, ensuring the gap is correct (refer to manufacturer specifications).
  • Reinstall the ignition coil and connect the wiring harness.

3. Check Fuel Injector

  • Tools Required: Fuel injector cleaner, multimeter (for electrical testing).
  • Disconnect the fuel injector connector for cylinder 2.
  • Conduct a resistance test using a multimeter; compare with manufacturer specifications.
  • If the injector is faulty, remove it using an appropriate tool and replace it with a new injector.
  • Reconnect the fuel injector and wiring.

4. Conduct Compression Test

  • Tools Required: Compression gauge.
  • Remove the spark plug from cylinder 2.
  • Insert the compression gauge into the spark plug hole and crank the engine.
  • Record the compression reading and compare it to manufacturer specifications.
  • If compression is low, further investigation into engine internals may be necessary.

5. Check for Vacuum Leaks

  • Visually inspect all vacuum hoses connected to the intake manifold for cracks or disconnections.
  • Use a smoke machine or spray soapy water around the intake area while the engine runs to identify leaks.
  • Repair or replace any damaged hoses.

Verification

After completing the repair, verify that the issue has been resolved:

  • Test the affected component to ensure it functions correctly
  • Check for any error codes or warning lights
  • Monitor the vehicle for a few days to ensure the issue does not recur

Prevention Tips

To prevent this issue from occurring again:

  • •Follow the manufacturer's recommended maintenance schedule
  • •Address warning signs early before they develop into major issues
  • •Use quality parts and fluids recommended for your vehicle
  • •Keep detailed records of all repairs and maintenance

Tools & Equipment Required

  • OBD-II scanner
  • Socket set
  • Torque wrench
  • Spark plug gap tool
  • Compression gauge
  • Multimeter
  • Fuel injector cleaner

Parts Required

  • Spark plug (for cylinder 2)
  • Ignition coil (if faulty)
  • Fuel injector (if faulty)
