SOURCE: check eng light come on and the code is 55

55 is No Malfunction. Re-check the actual ECU lights for another code just to make sure. Let me know if you dont know how to do this. Hope this helps.

SOURCE: check engine light came on and error codes were

P0300 is "random misfire detected" and P0301 is "cylinder 1 misfire detected". I would start by checking the condition of your spark plugs and replace as necesaary. NGK or ND plugs are recomended.

SOURCE: check eng light trouble code PO420 bank 1 on

My 2002 Camry V6 is having some issues. Went in for an oil change that turned into a front struts, springs and mounts job. Then I was having some problem in the higher speeds waiting for the car to shift, so had a tune up done, which meant new spark plugs, and of course, the gasket! So now I am out about 1K and now the check engine light comes on. Had it checked out and and a catalytic code came up. They fiddled with it and got the check engine light off, but now the VSC and TRAC OFF lights are on. What does all this mean? Should I take the plunge and get the cat converter done now?

SOURCE: check engine light is on code is PO301

p0301 is cylinder # 1 misfire detected-- it could be plugs, wires, or coils. then run a good injector cleaner in tank, this may help to keep injectors clean. have a good holiday !!

I have a 98 Volvo S70. A dashboard light that looks like a square with a fan in it just came on. What does it mean ? I have no manual to look it up

This light is the check engine light, its a picture of an engine, this is to let you know that theres a problem with the performance of the engine, what happens is that the computer is always monitoring all sensors and components and when its sees something out of spec it turns on the eng light and stores a code. the code well tell what part of a system has failed, for example it may say po301 cyl # 1 misfire. this would mean that the computer has seen cylinder 1 misfring , then with some checking and testing the problem can be found why the cylinder was misfiring, the first step you would need to do is have the compuetr scanned to see what code or codes are stored. there are many autopart stores that will scan the computer for free and give you a print out, if you could get me the codes i would be able to help you further, good day.

TROUBLE CODES PO301 & PO306 HAVE ALREADY

P0301 = Cyl no 1
P0306 = Cyl no 6

If you have changed plugs and leads and confident that they are now ok you need to run a compression check on all the cylinders, I'd emagine they should all be running at approximately 150psi per bore, if 1 & 6 are down it could be the head gasket, timing or piston rings.

Check engine light on. idle very rouph.likeno fuel. code po301

A code PO301 indicates a cylinder misfire. You may want to start with a tune-up, including new plugs and wires, especially if they are original from the factory. If there is a cap and rotor, replace them as well. To double-check the problem though, I would recommend bringing your vehicle into a local technician so he can put it on an engine diagnostics computer.

I hope this gives you a start as to where to look! Please let me know if you need any further assistance in this matter. :)

98Eclipse 2.0 nonTurbo 5speed 180,000 miles ,code PO301

The po301 is a misfire code. The backfire can be caused by a excessive amount of fuel, bad valve timing etc.
My guess is you have damage to an exhaust valve that may have occurred when you had the timing belt problem.A compression test will indicate if you have a leaking exhaust valve.The reason for the backfire is the exhaust valve is still partially open when the spark plug fires.
