Howdy folks. I was driving on the highway last weekend, and next thing you know my service engine soon light started blinking. It was intermittent, then the engine started bogging down. Took the truck home and got these codes, 0307 & 1319. Anyone know what this could mean?

Thx

 

Sure, but what happened to you that you couldn't do a search and find the mis-fire, you have been around long enough to have read a few other threads, come on, do a little of the work your self and then if you have questions, get back to us with some specific information like how many miles on the truck, when was it last tuned along with new 8 mm silicone plug wires?

 

I have 88k miles on the truck. It was last tuned up at the 40k mark w Bosch Platinum Plus 4's and Set of Magnacor. o2 sensors were replaced at the 55k mark. well i did some research but i assumed the folks on here might already know what the codes are....

P0307
Cylinder 7 misfire detected
Injector 7 excess emissions/catalyst damaging level of misfire

P1319
Misfire detected with low fuel level

 

Bosch plugs are garbage. I'm surprised they lasted that long. I'd start there.

 

ok, so i need to start w a tune-up. Do you have any suggestions on plugs?

 

Cheap copper champions usually work ok, so most people say. I'd recommend NGK, but there doesn't seem to be an application for the 03-04 for some reason.

I've got the OE platinum champions in mine, they seem to work ok, but I think they are overpriced for what you get.

 

ok, i'll do a tune-up and check back. If thats not it, do you think its already time for new o2's?

 

Why do you say that spike? What leads you to believe those plugs are garbage

 

He is not spike, but spike does say copper all the way. Platinum plugs are suppose to be good for 100k or so, so I don't know if new plugs are going to fix the misfire. I had random misfire for some time after engine power wash, which is now completely gone away, no codes no misfire. I got some Bosch IR and also 8mm silicone wires, but when I pulled the plugs, They were autolite double platinum, so not original factory ones, meaning they have been at least changed once. I have 128k miles on the truck and since it is running smooth, just left the plugs and wires alone. Will change them if anything happens. ,

 

First, anyone who says Bosch plugs are bad, is a foul. They are one of the largest manufacture of plugs for most European vehicles and when people say they are bad, very few if any of them have used them, it is all unfounded hear say.
That being said, if you want help with your misfire issue, send me your number and I'll call you
