the car has spark compression and fuel but will only run on cylinders 2 and 4 .
the spark plugs are brand new, the icm is brand new, the coils work fine as well as the injectors.
p0300 engine code thats all i could get from my scanner
honestly completely lost rn any help would be great

Did

also verify the fuel injectors for the cylinders out of operation are functioning

Did

did you inspect wiring harness and connectors related to the faulty cylinders

tidal island
#

i didn't see anything visually but that is a possibility

#

if it persists check the compression to ensure there arent any issues with the valves or piston rings

tidal island
#

Fron what i heard it just kinda happened all of the suddeb

carmine gull
#

and maybe even the fuel pressure

tidal island
#

compression is good

carmine gull
#

then it’s an electrical issue or component failure

#

if it was sudden

#

check wiring harness, ignition coils, or icm

#

distributor cap and rotor could show signs of damage as well

#

fuel pressure regulator could have malfunctioned

#

if it has an maf sensor make sure that works

#

and check your vacuum lines

tidal island
#

Icm and ignition coils are new

#

Still working on fuel stuff but i dont think that can cause a dead cylinder

carmine gull
#

tidal island
