2007 Dodge Ram P0301 Misfire: The Exhaust Stroke Revealed a Broken Lifter

Spark and injection timing were correct. An in-cylinder pressure waveform showed abnormally high exhaust-stroke pressure, and the cylinder-one exhaust rocker barely moved.

No DTCs were stored. The input-speed and vehicle-speed sensor connectors were identical three-wire plugs positioned beside one another; they were swapped, and the range.

Fuses passed and several modules/switches had already been replaced. The orange feed at C-129 pin 14 had no voltage; a controlled fused feed restored turn-signal operation.

Both-bank lean codes and an idle/low-rpm symptom directed inspection toward unmetered air. A cracked rubber fitting between the canister purge valve and intake manifold was.

Fluid condition and solenoid-pack resistance were normal, but the red feed wire to the pack had intermittent power. The relay control and ground paths passed, leaving the.

The leak was repaired and the system recharged to specification, yet the clutch did not engage and no DTCs were stored. A Porsche-capable compressor reset and run-in cleared.

Mounts, control arms, tire service, driveshaft removal and two sets of aftermarket axles did not cure the shake. There was no misfire. Comparing parts showed the OEM axles.

Multiple modules stored missing-message faults from the FRM. The FRM would not communicate, yet its wiring, connectors, power and grounds tested correctly. Installing a.

Twenty modules reported communication trouble. The TCM was offline, and its specified power pins lacked battery voltage even though fuse 5 was live. Wet carpet concealed a.

Ignition fuses retained six to seven volts briefly after key-off. Fuse isolation traced the feedback through IPDM fuse 54 to a footwell connector, where corrosion bridged.
