Safety Warnings

  • ⚠Disconnect the battery before working on electrical systems.
  • ⚠Allow the engine to cool before removing any components related to the ignition system.

Symptoms

  • •Check engine light illuminated
  • •Rough idle
  • •Loss of power during acceleration
  • •Increased fuel consumption
  • •Engine stalling or hesitation
  • •Unusual engine noises (e.g., popping or backfiring)

Diagnostic Steps

  1. 1Scan for error codes using an OBD-II scanner to confirm P0302 and check for additional related codes.
  2. 2Inspect the ignition coil and spark plug for cylinder 2 for signs of wear or damage.
  3. 3Check for fuel delivery issues by testing fuel pressure at the rail.
  4. 4Perform a compression test on cylinder 2 to check for mechanical issues.
  5. 5Inspect wiring and connectors associated with the ignition system for damage or corrosion.
  6. 6Verify the condition of the air filter and intake system for any restrictions.

Solution

Solution

1. Preparation

  • Gather all necessary tools and parts.
  • Disconnect the negative battery terminal to avoid electrical shock.
  • Ensure the vehicle is parked on a flat surface and secured with wheel chocks.

2. Inspect and Replace Spark Plug

  • Tools Required: Socket set, torque wrench, spark plug socket.
  • Remove the engine cover if applicable.
  • Locate the spark plug for cylinder 2, identified in the vehicle’s service manual.
  • Using the spark plug socket, remove the old spark plug carefully.
  • Inspect the spark plug for wear or damage. Replace it with a new spark plug that meets manufacturer specifications (check gap).
  • Torque the new spark plug to the manufacturer's specified value (usually around 13-15 lb-ft).

3. Inspect and Replace Ignition Coil

  • Tools Required: Socket set, torque wrench.
  • Disconnect the electrical connector from the ignition coil for cylinder 2.
  • Remove the mounting bolts securing the ignition coil.
  • Replace the ignition coil with a new unit ensuring it is seated correctly.
  • Reconnect the electrical connector and torque the mounting bolts to the recommended specification.

4. Check Fuel Injector

  • Tools Required: Fuel pressure gauge, injector cleaner (if necessary).
  • Connect the fuel pressure gauge to the fuel rail and turn the ignition to the ON position without starting the engine. Check the fuel pressure against specifications.
  • If pressure is low, inspect the fuel pump and fuel filter.
  • If fuel delivery is confirmed but misfiring persists, consider cleaning or replacing the fuel injector for cylinder 2.

5. Reassemble and Test

  • Reinstall the engine cover if it was removed.
  • Reconnect the negative battery terminal.
  • Start the engine and allow it to reach operating temperature.

Verification

After completing the repair, verify that the issue has been resolved:

  • Test the affected component to ensure it functions correctly
  • Check for any error codes or warning lights
  • Monitor the vehicle for a few days to ensure the issue does not recur

Prevention Tips

To prevent this issue from occurring again:

  • •Follow the manufacturer's recommended maintenance schedule
  • •Address warning signs early before they develop into major issues
  • •Use quality parts and fluids recommended for your vehicle
  • •Keep detailed records of all repairs and maintenance

Tools & Equipment Required

  • OBD-II scanner
  • Socket set
  • Torque wrench
  • Spark plug socket
  • Fuel pressure gauge

Parts Required

  • Spark plug (specific to Genesis G70)
  • Ignition coil (specific to cylinder 2)
  • Fuel injector cleaner (if needed)
