Code P0300 is a very common problem. If the dealership can't figure it out it is because they don't want to. I suggest you go somewhere else.

k, its at the dealership now... they asked me all sorts of questions from "have you ever used fuel additives" to if i race it... etc... they sure do ask a lot of q's but i can understand why. well they arent done looking at it yet, i guess they are on the phones with the service reps or whatever right now. so hopefully they figure out wtf is going on.

It's common.

I threw the 0300 code yesterday for the first time in 44k miles.

It just so happened to be 11 degrees outside. Cold start. Simple as that.

But if it recurrs, then yes --- it can be tuned out. Even by Mitsu.

Are You tuned?

On an Evo Ix for the most part the Po300 can be tuned out of it.

If you need any help and have a Tactrix cable let me know.
