Hello everyone, my vehicle has been throwing these codes. I've replaced the plugs and coils; I don't smell any fuel or anything and I don't know what to check after this. Any ideas?

Hi,

It could be a couple of things. Since you have already replaced the plugs and coils, you may want to check the fuel pressure to see if it is weak.

Here is a link that explains how it's done:

If the same codes return after clearing them, you may want to consider checking engine compression. Low compression in a cylinder or cylinders can also cause a misfire.

Here is a link that explains how that is done:

Both of these tests require a pressure gauge. Most parts stores will lend one to you free of charge.

Let me know your thoughts. Also, if you have other questions, let me know.

Take care,

joe
