greatkamala: You didn't mention if you had any problems with the engine? Clear the code and rescan after 100km. Worst case senario replace all six spark plugs with original oem. |

greatkamala:This is an easy fix,r mechanic is right.He will just need to check all the component on cylinder 4 and erase the code after the necessary repair has been carried out. |

The code you have should be P0304 and maybe P0300. Now mechanic is right. Its either the coil, the plug, or some broken wires. Really most times you can detect the issue by taking the coil out and listening for sound changes in the car or swapping say coil 6 with 4. At the moment the car may not be running very smoothly. If you haven't changed your plugs in a while then do so. Change all of them with original ones (I have the habit of always keeping the old ones). 1 Like |

Agreed that bad fuel can cause error codes. But lets rewind now. It may be good to know what code you got from the scan. From my own experience when you say it was a misfire code I assumed it was the P0300 series. bad fuel may give you codes such as P0171 and P0174. Again if the problem is on only one cylinder then in a V6 you may not really notice it that much if the other 5 are working properly. With you saying you had some slight episodes of rough idling then yes could be the plugs etc. Did you pack the car without use for a while in recent times? |

Had same problem with my cylinder 3 sometime in 2013. Check coils by swapping them. In my case the nozzle was the problem. Had it replaced |

GAZZUZZ: gazzuzz please I need help with my Camry 2003 V6 , I’ve changed all the plugs , coils and had my mechanic replace some nozzles but I still have misfire. It works fine when it’s cold but ones it’s warms up, hesitates to move from startup . Also changed the fuel pump |
Re: Misfire On Cylinder 4 On Toyota Camry Big Daddy...help! by Henray02: 4:47am On Aug 26, 2022 |
Also changes misfire from on cylinder to another . |

Henray02: Q 1. Is the car still misfiring 2. Have you scan the car? Go and scan and stop wasting money on parts that you don't need |
Re: Misfire On Cylinder 4 On Toyota Camry Big Daddy...help! by jceesquare(m): 9:01pm On Aug 26, 2022 |
Henray02:Run a fuel pressure test when it starts misfiring. As suggested, scan the car for codes. Also check the condition of your air filter and replace where necessary. |
Re: Misfire On Cylinder 4 On Toyota Camry Big Daddy...help! by Henray02: 11:04pm On Aug 26, 2022 |
jceesquare:Not sure my mechanic has fuel pressure gauge , I’ll run a scan again . Last time I scanned it reads multiple cylinder misfires tho |
Re: Misfire On Cylinder 4 On Toyota Camry Big Daddy...help! by Henray02: 11:08pm On Aug 26, 2022 |
Dozieson:Still misfiring and last scan says multiple cylinder misfire Also switches from one or two cylinder to another . It’s tiring |
Re: Misfire On Cylinder 4 On Toyota Camry Big Daddy...help! by jceesquare(m): 4:58am On Aug 27, 2022 |
Henray02:Change the complete fuel pump assembly and not just the pump. Change external filter if it has one. Try not to drive with quarter tank or low fuel for long. I guess what happens is that your pump overheats after a while and starts misbehaving. The petrol in your tank acts as a coolant for the pump and when you run your car low on petrol the pump overheats. |
Re: Misfire On Cylinder 4 On Toyota Camry Big Daddy...help! by Dozieson(m): 6:13am On Aug 27, 2022 |
Henray02: Scan again and share the codes. Codes will show the particular cylinder misfiring |
Re: Misfire On Cylinder 4 On Toyota Camry Big Daddy...help! by Henray02: 6:14am On Aug 27, 2022 |
jceesquare: I’ll run a scan on it today and give you feedback . Here are my observations : It hesitates from startup And when it picks up , jerks inbtw ( not too noticeable) even d passenger near me wdnt notice it But runs fine later Only problem I have is startup and happens whenever I step on Gas Feels like oxygen sensor is going bad ? |
Re: Misfire On Cylinder 4 On Toyota Camry Big Daddy...help! by Henray02: 6:15am On Aug 27, 2022 |
Dozieson:I will scan this morning and give feedback Thanks |

Henray02: When you accelerate or at start-up (as described) the demand for fuel and air from your engine is high. If your car cannot supply either of the 2, it will result to power loose as you're experiencing. From your last scan showing Random multiple misfire; coupled with your explanation, you're definitely having a fuel delivery issue. A fuel pressure test would give you a clearer picture. As I've suggested earlier, you will need to get a complete fuel assembly and not just the pump for peace of mind. The oxygen sensor monitors the oxygen level in the exhaust system amongst other functions and would not make you have the symptoms you're experiencing with your car. |
Re: Misfire On Cylinder 4 On Toyota Camry Big Daddy...help! by Henray02: 11:52am On Aug 28, 2022 |
jceesquare: I’ll get the complete fuel pump replaced tomorrow Thanks so much |
Re: Misfire On Cylinder 4 On Toyota Camry Big Daddy...help! by Dozieson(m): 2:18pm On Aug 28, 2022 |
Henray02: Scan before you replace. Don't be wasting money anyhow |
Re: Misfire On Cylinder 4 On Toyota Camry Big Daddy...help! by Angrygoat: 8:57am On Aug 29, 2022 |

Angrygoat: Thanks Tested with another pump and it was same thing . Scan revealed a bad coil . It was changed and it’s alright now . Thanks all for your suggestions . I appreciate � |
Re: Misfire On Cylinder 4 On Toyota Camry Big Daddy...help! by Dozieson(m): 7:45pm On Aug 29, 2022 |
Henray02: That is what you should have done earlier. Always scan before you change parts. Toyota cars hardly have difficult problems to solve except for overheating and oil burns |
Re: Misfire On Cylinder 4 On Toyota Camry Big Daddy...help! by Henray02: 11:11am On Aug 30, 2022 |
Dozieson:It’s working fine now , had a faulty Coil Thanks all J |
