how do I fix the P0300 code in my Toyota Corolla E140 (2006-2013)

Solution

1. Preparation

• Gather all necessary tools and parts.
• Disconnect the negative battery terminal to prevent electrical shorts.

2. Replace Spark Plugs

• Remove the ignition coil cover (if applicable).
• Using a socket set, remove the spark plugs.
• Inspect the old spark plugs for wear; replace them with new ones (specify the correct type based on owner's manual).
• Torque new spark plugs to manufacturer specifications (typically around 13-16 lb-ft).

3. Inspect and Replace Ignition Coils

• Remove the ignition coils by unscrewing the retaining bolts.
• Inspect the coils for cracks or carbon tracking; replace any faulty coils.
• Install new ignition coils and secure with bolts using the manufacturer's torque specifications.

4. Check and Clean Fuel Injectors

• Disconnect the fuel rail from the fuel injectors.
• Remove the fuel injectors from the rail.
• Clean the injectors using a professional fuel injector cleaning kit or replace them if they are clogged.
• Reinstall the fuel injectors and ensure they are seated properly in the rail.

5. Inspect Vacuum Lines

• Visually inspect all vacuum lines for cracks or disconnections.
• Replace any damaged vacuum hoses with OEM-quality replacements.

6. Reconnect Battery and Test

• Reconnect the negative battery terminal.
• Start the engine and monitor for any check engine light illumination.
