P0306 indicates a misfire on cylinder six. I am having trouble finding an accurate diagram of the spark plug and coil setup, as O'Reilly's system indicates that a faulty spark plug or ignition coil is the most likely problem. If my personal research is correct, the plug and coil for cylinder six was replaced within the last twenty four months.

Hello,

I have attached a firing order diagram to help show which is cylinder six.

The codes you have included are as follows:

P0306 is a cylinder six misfire
P0449 is Evaporative Emission (EVAP) Vent Solenoid Control Circuit

Hope all this helps! If you need more information, please let me know!

Can you tell me where the Evaporative Emission (EVAP) Vent Solenoid Control Circuit is located? I am a little confused as to location of the vent vs the purge.
