mattejb Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 Ok so I have a CEL on my car rite now. Its a 1997 2.5 dohc outback w/ 215580+ miles on it. The Code reads out as P0301. I just had a "tune up" done. So the sparkplugs should be ok. I am thinking it might be the wires, coils or fuel injectors. Also to note about a year and half ago I i had a CEL come on and was told it was because of a bad cat. They turned it off no problems till now. I am going to get my oil changed at Van Bortel in 2 weeks (its only $17 I though why not) Should i have them look at it? Ok now you tell me what you would do.

porcupine73 Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 Hi. In this recent tuneup, were NGK plugs and OEM spark plug wires used? That era soob sometimes doesn't like other plugs or wires too well and will startup with the P0301 to P0304 (cylinder misfire #1 to #4) codes.

mattejb Posted November 13, 2007 Author Share Posted November 13, 2007 Update: The CEL went off. Should I just keep it in the back of my mind or still look into getting it "fixed". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
