I replaced the coil and plug in cylinder one and still throws same code. What else could it be? No other codes present only po301.

Thanks!

Hi,

The misfire, if it is only cylinder 1 can be caused by an injector issue, compression issue, or the new coil/plug isn't being fired.

Do me a favor. Follow the directions in this link and let me know if you are getting spark at the number 1 spark plug:

Let me know what you find.
