how to fix my Ram 1500 DT (2019-Present) engine misfire P0302 code

Solution

1. Preparation

• Gather necessary tools and parts.
• Ensure the vehicle is parked on a flat surface and the engine is cool.
• Disconnect the battery to ensure safety.

2. Replace Spark Plug

• Tools Required: Socket set, torque wrench, spark plug socket.
• Remove the engine cover (if applicable) to access the spark plug.
• Using a spark plug socket, remove the spark plug from cylinder 2.
• Inspect the old spark plug for signs of wear or fouling.
• Install the new spark plug by hand to avoid cross-threading, then tighten to the manufacturer’s specified torque (typically around 13-15 lb-ft).

3. Inspect/Replace Ignition Coil

• Tools Required: Socket set, multimeter (for testing), possibly a torque wrench.
• Remove the ignition coil for cylinder 2 by disconnecting the electrical connector and unbolting it from the engine.
• Use a multimeter to test the coil's resistance; refer to the specifications in the service manual.
• If faulty, install a new ignition coil and ensure it is secured and connected properly.

4. Check/Replace Fuel Injector

• Tools Required: Fuel injector removal tool, socket set, torque wrench.
• Disconnect the fuel injector connector and remove the fuel rail (if necessary).
• Remove the fuel injector for cylinder 2.
• Test the injector operation with a noid light or multimeter; replace if it is not functioning correctly.
• Reinstall the new fuel injector, ensuring proper alignment and securing it to the fuel rail.

5. Perform Compression Test (if needed)

• Tools Required: Compression tester.
• Remove spark plugs from all cylinders.
• Insert the compression tester into cylinder 2 and crank the engine.
• Compare the reading with manufacturer specifications.
• If the compression is low, further investigation into internal engine components may be necessary.
