later, Peter Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 this was on for P304. Replaced plugs & wires (OEM) months ago. CEL came on again... Schucks tested found P304 again. cleared light. week goes by, yup, P304.... I reset the light (disconnect the battery, push the button). another week... CEL on but before I can get to it (4 days) light goes away. Today it came on again. ran 4 oz. of SeaFoam through brake booster hose. cleared light. & now I'm waiting. Any other ideas what would trip the CEL like this? Inconsistantly. Later, Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowman Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 Is 304 a cylinder misfire code? I have a customer that had a bunch of misfire codes, and I'm pretty sure that most of it was caused by water in the fuel (it always happened in the winter, and usually after it had rained). Try a couple bottles of Heet in the gas and see what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe half occured during some sort of moisture event. I will try the HEET tomorrow. THANKS. Later, Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fnlyfnd Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 Make sure your spark plugs are still tight. Pour the seafoam through the pvc instead of brake booster. Maybe you have a bad plug/wire. I know they are new, but **** happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nipper Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 rule out the coil tower next. Spray the coil tower with water in the evening and see if you see any sparks. Another possability is a leaking injector. nipper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
