Misfires on Eurovans : common and uncommon causes
I've been going back of archives of this mailing list (back to 2008 when I joined) looking for stories about unusual reasons for misfires. There are quite a few of them! [I have very lightly edited or

Hey hey out there Your over blowing it, l don¡¯t know what you want to prove ? Just get two new plugs and two good wires and try them, ?

Re: OPParts Black Spark Plug Wires
Re my previous post re spark plug wire thickness. The 7mm vs 8mm thickness may be nothing at all. Just depends on where these wires are routed. If they're near anything hot like manifolds, then I'd

Re: OPParts Black Spark Plug Wires
I like and trust Europarts. No matter, always test spark plug wires for resistance. Don't know anything about OPParts. I'm a bit concerned about the 7mm wires. That may not be the spec for Euro that

Re: 2000 Eurovan with P0300, P0302, P0306
Hello, Michael, My replies about the issue were speculative -- obd2 code can lead you down funny rabbit holes. You're correct about the injector ohm test re clogged or fouled. But that test doesn't

Re: 2000 Eurovan with P0300, P0302, P0306
Update: I measured the resistance and all 6 injectors were right at 14.8 Ohms, which seems good. This doesn't prove the injectors aren't clogged or fouled, but does point more towards an ignition

OPParts Black Spark Plug Wires
Any opinion on these spark plug wires for a 2000 Eurovan? I think the label says "OPParts", which looks like a non OEM $40 set as can be found here:

My 02 threw those same codes found it was a bad MAF. A few bottles HEET run through the system might help.Spencer

You had me at 6mo old gas. If it was ethanol, as most is these days, a little water in there could cause it to separate out. Siphon out some and take a look. Add some ethanol-free premium and good

Some parts do not last as long as they should ? if fuel injector resistance is off it will trip a code.

Re: 2000 Eurovan with P0300, P0302, P0306
The serpentine belt turned out to be my problem with this, but I had slightly different error codes. My codes didn't cancel after a while. I got mis-fire codes on all cylinders and a code indicating

Re: 2000 Eurovan with P0300, P0302, P0306
Hey post@..., There are a few reports going back years on this mailing list claiming that a bad serpentine belt can cause these issues due to static electricity. Here's one I found from

Re: 2000 Eurovan with P0300, P0302, P0306
Thanks to all for your help & ideas: Here's my plan of attack: 1. Measure the resistances of the fuel injectors. This looks fairly easy to do, and since replacing the injectors looks really hard, I'd

Re: 2000 Eurovan with P0300, P0302, P0306
I bought my '99 EVC last year, and it has always had the CEL on (occasionally it will flicker, when the weather is very wet and I accelerate on a hill), and I always get several misfire codes (nothing

Clear the codes, restart and recheck codes. Missfire from #2 #6 Cyl Bad plugs, coil packs/wires, injectors, etc. Like all diagnostic you have to eliminate each item

Re: 2000 Eurovan with P0300, P0302, P0306
Hello, Michael, I re-read your post and noticed you said " Check Engine Light started blinking". That's a hard misfire that can damage your cat. If the engine light blinks again, pull over and shut

Re: 2000 Eurovan with P0300, P0302, P0306
Hello, Michael, A misfire means the cylinder isn't contributing its share of engine load.?In your case you have multiple misfires - cylinders 2 and 6 (same bank on coil pack) *:* 1. Spark plug

Could have been moisture in the high voltage part of the ignition system?

Thanks, Sam, - Dirty Injectors / bad fuel: definitely possible, and running a can of injector cleaner through would be a cheap test. Other details: - I went over my service records, and although the

Could be dirty fuel injectors! Might try a can od whatever solvent Autozone/etc. sells and see if that helps. Old gas can be a real problem! Sam 02 EVC
