Random misfire detected
Random misfire detected *Refer to Misfire Note, page 5
Documented for: 2.0L gasoline; 2.5L/3.0L gasoline · System(s): EMS EOBD, EMS OBD II · Factory MIL flag: 1 or 2*
Common causes
- Cylinder compression low Worn camshaft / broken valve spring(s) Fuel delivery pressure (low / high) Fuel injector(s) restricted / leaking Fuel injector(s) continuously open Fuel contamination Fuel injector circuit fault(s) (Injector DTCs also flagged) Spark plug failure / fouled / incorrect gap ECM to ignition coil primary circuit fault (Cylinder misfire detected DTC also flagged) Ignition coil failure
- Random/Multiple Cylinder Misfire Detected
Quick checks
- Confirm freeze-frame and conditions when the code set
- Inspect connectors, grounds, and harness for the circuit named in the code
- Compare live sensor values vs expected (unplugged/biased sensors are common)
- Check intake boots, PCV, and vacuum lines for splits (very common on aged X-Types)
- Swap coil/plug to another cylinder if misfire is cylinder-specific
Typical fixes
- Check spark plugs
- coils
- vacuum leaks
- fuel pressure
