Misfire Detected in One Cylinder
P0301 | The scan tool indicates Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) P0301: Cylinder 1 misfire detected.
[F03O2l 16"""untool indicates Diagnostic Trouble code (DTc) P0302: Cylinder2 misfire detected.
[FO3Ofl 16" ".un toot indicates Diagnostic Troubte Code (DTC) P0303; Cylinder 3 misfire detected.
I P0304 I ths..rr tool indicates Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) PO3O4: Cylinder 4 misfire detected.
D€scription
lMisfire detection is accomplished by monitoring the crankshaft speed with the crankshaft speed fluctuation (CKF) sensor
which is attached to the crankshaft,
lf misfiring strong enough to damage the catalyst is detected, the MIL will blink during the time of its occurrence, and DTC
PO3O1, P0302, PO3O3 or P0304 will be stored. Then, after the misfire has ceased, the MIL will come on.
lf misfiring that increases emissions is detected during two consecutive driving cyclss, the MIL will come on, and DTC
P0301, P0302, P0303 or P0304 will be stored.
NOTE: lf some of the DTCS listed below are stored at the same time as a misfire DTC, troubleshoot those DTCS first, then
recheck for the misfire DTC.

Evaporative Emission (EVAPI Controls
Description
The evaporative emission controls are designed to minimize the amount of fuel vapor escaping to the atmosphere. The
system consists of the foliowing components:
A. Evaporative Emission (EVAP) Control Canisto]
An EVAP control canister is used for the temporary storage of fuel vapor until the fuel vapor can be purged from the
EVAP control canister into the engine and burned.
B. Vapor Purge Control System
EVAP control canister purging is accomplished by drawing fresh air through the EVAP control canister and into a port
on the intake manifold. The purging vacuum is controlled by the EVAP purge control solenoid valve.

Fuel Tank Vapor Control System
When fuel vapor pressure in the fuel tank is higher than the set value of the EVAP two way valve, the valve opens and
regulates the flow of fuel vapor to the EVAP control canister.
Onboard Refueling Vapor Recovery (ORVRI System {'99 - 00 models}
During refueling. the oRVR {onboard Refueling Vapor Recovery) vent shut valve opens with the pressure in the fuel
tank. and feeds the fuel vapor to the EVAP control canister.

tarily at 0.8 - 2.1 kPa (6 - 16 mmHg, 0.2 - 0.6 in.Hg).
lf the vacuum stabilizes (valve opens) below
0.8 kPa {6 mmHg, 0.2 in.Hg) or above 2.1 kPa
(16 mmHg, 0.6 in.Hg), install a new valve and retest.
Move the vacuum pump hose from the vacuum fit-

gauge hose from the vacuum side to the pressure
side as shown.
Slowlv pressurize the vapor line while watching the
