P0304: Cylinder 4 Misfire Detected

IgnitionHigh severity

What P0304 means

Cylinder 4 specifically is misfiring. Because it is a single cylinder, the cause is usually a component on that cylinder.

Common causes

  • Failed coil or plug on cylinder 4
  • Leaking or clogged injector
  • Low compression on that cylinder

How it is usually fixed

  1. 1Swap the coil and plug with a neighbouring cylinder and clear the code — if the misfire follows, you found the part
  2. 2Test injector operation
  3. 3Compression and leak-down test if the misfire stays
