Fix soonEngine & fuel system

Random/multiple cylinder misfire

The engine is misfiring across cylinders. Distinct from P030x codes (which point to a specific cylinder).

Common causes

  • Old spark plugs / coils across the engine
  • Vacuum leak
  • Low fuel pressure
  • Carbon-fouled valves (DI engines)

First thing to try:

If it's been 80k+ km on the original plugs/coils, replace them all.

Can I keep driving?

Short trips only. Book a diagnosis soon — driving on this fault can damage other parts.
