I went to auto zone and had my car scanned. They gave me four problems that I have listed below. Obviously I have more than one problem. But which one is more important? And which one should I replace first?
P0306 - a misfire has occurred in cylinder #6.
Definition:
Cylinder misfire detected - cylinder #6.
Explanation:
The power train control module monitors the crankshaft speed and had detected a misfire
condition.
Probable causes:
1. Ignition system fault
spark plug(s).
ignition switch.
wire set.
ignition coil.
2. Vacuum leak.
3. Injector fault.
4. High or low fuel pressure.
P0401 - there is insufficient flow in the exhaust gas recirculation system.
Definition:
EGR system fault (exhaust gas recirculation).
Explanation:
The ECM has detected too little flow on the EGR system.
Probable causes:
1. Blocked passage on EGR system.
2. Failed EGR valve.
3. EGR solenoid faulty.
4. Failed EGR pressure sensor.
P0443 - a malfunction exists in the electrical circuit for the purge control valve in the evaporative emission control system.
Definition:
EVAP (Evaporative Emission System) purge/vent solenoid circuit condition.
Explanation:
The solenoids and system wiring are monitored for opens or shorts.
Probable causes:
1. Purge or vent solenoids defective.
2. Check connector and wiring.
3. Fuel saturated vapor canister.
4. Failed EVAP vent solenoid.
P0500 - a malfunction exists in the electrical circuit for the vehicle speed sensor.
Definition:
Vehicle speed sensor malfunction.
Probable Causes:
1. Open or short circuit condition.
2. Poor electrical connection.
3. Failed VSS.|||You didnt state wht kind of vehicle you are working on. These codes are very common on ford cars.#1 replace the spark plug wires. #2 check the hoses between the egr tube and the dpfe senso one or both are probably broken.#3 check vacuum lines and wiring for the evap system.#4 replace speed sensor.|||Does the vehicle regularly miss? I would start there, replacing plugs and wires. If that doesn't do it, you may have a bad injector.
Next thing would be to replace the egr, or take it off and clean it with seafoam|||Misfire for sure. As it says you should probably at least check your #6 spark plug wire %26amp; spark plug, if that doesn't work check your #6 injector.
VSS is probably the least important since last I checked the VSS does nothing but make your dash and cruise control work and if you can live without them it's better to focus on things relative to your engine.||| I would not let Auto Zone scan my car, they are wrong way to many times. They do not even get close.
