how to fix the P0300 code in my Tesla Model 3 Highland (2024-present)

Solution

1. Preparation

• Gather all necessary tools and parts.
• Ensure the vehicle is parked on a flat surface and the ignition is off.
• Disconnect the battery to prevent electrical shock during repairs.

2. Replace Spark Plugs

• Tools Required: Socket set, torque wrench, spark plug socket, anti-seize compound.
• Remove the engine cover if applicable.
• Using a socket, remove the old spark plugs from each cylinder.
• Inspect the spark plug electrodes and replace with OEM spark plugs if damaged or worn.
• Apply a small amount of anti-seize compound to the threads of the new spark plugs.
• Torque the new spark plugs to the manufacturer’s specifications (typically around 18 lb-ft for most Tesla models).

3. Inspect and Replace Ignition Coils

• Tools Required: Socket set, torque wrench.
• Remove the ignition coils from each cylinder.
• Inspect the ignition coils for cracks or signs of wear. Replace if necessary.
• Reinstall the ignition coils and torque them to specifications (usually around 10-15 lb-ft).

4. Clean or Replace Fuel Injectors

• Tools Required: Fuel injector cleaning kit or replacement injectors.
• If cleaning, attach the fuel injector cleaning kit to the fuel rail and follow the kit’s instructions.
• If replacing, disconnect the fuel lines and remove the old injectors.
• Install the new injectors and ensure they seat properly.

5. Check and Repair Vacuum Leaks

• Tools Required: Vacuum gauge or smoke machine.
• Use a smoke machine to check for leaks in the intake manifold and vacuum lines.
• Repair or replace any damaged lines or gaskets found during the inspection.
