I've had an intermittent P303 code for the past few months. I have swapped fuel injectors, changed the spark plugs and wires, distributor cap and rotor, coil pack, and even ran a can of sea foam through it. Any suggestions on where to go from here? Why is the code only intermittent?
What did the old spark plugs look like? How's the compression? If you rule out fuel and spark it could be a mechanical problem, maybe a burnt valve.
The spark plugs looked ok to me, they had some gray ash on them, but no build up or serious discoloration. I checked the compression on the 3rd cylinder, it was about 125psi. I didn't compare it to the other cylinders or to the 3rd cylinder when the check engine light is off. I'll try to do that tonight.
