Check the spark plugs, make sure they all seated and are tight. Also change wires. Probably the coil packs, but check the cheaper stuff first.

2001 mercury grand marquis reading code p305 misfire, spark plugs and coils changed

If you changed the #5 Coil then the code was wrong

You get lots of wrong codes on a ford, as a bad coil
spikes the pcm when grounding out to fire the coils
secondary side

Try putting the old coil back & walking the new one to
another cylinder,may take many days & many miles of
driving to get it fix,but better than a shop guessing, because
they hate fords

My girlfriend has a 99 pontiac grand am with the 2.4 l an has a cylinder number 2 misfire .. it spits an spudders out exhaust any ideas where to start ?

Plugs, a coil tower, and four spark plug boots would be a good start. Wery common for the towers to go bad on these.

What size engine does a 2000 Pontiac Grand am have and does it have spark plugs?

It will either have a four cylinder 2.4 liter or a 6 cylinder 3.4 liter.

The 2.4 liter will have four plugs located under the cover on top of the engine. The cover can be removed by removing the four bolts with a 13mm socket, unplugging the connector on the drivers side, and lifting up.

The 3.4 liter will have three plugs on the fron and three plugs on the back. You can follow the plug wires from the coil to the spark plugs. Remove the wires from the plugs and remove/install.

Where are the spark plugs located?

If this is a four cylinder you will need to remove the plastic cover from over the valve cover, you will then find the spark plugs located deep inside the head on top. If this is a 6 cylinder the spark plugs are located in between the gaps in the exhaust manifold.

Vehicle is showing a code PO304 on a 2001 Ford Taurus. I have changed the fuel filter, the spark plugs, the coil,the air filter all just recently. Last year, I changed out the plug wires. Does anyone have...

Do you have spark at the number four cylinder? Check that if spark is present , then you should swap the injector from four to five and see if the miss goes with the injector. If not then you will need to test the engine compression .

2001 Pontiac Montana - what is a misfire #5?

Without your actual trouble code, I am assuming that you are have a misfire on cylinder # 5. The computer cannot really tell what is causing the misfire only that cyl 5 is not putting out full power. If it misfires when cold then smooths out as it warms up, I would say it is probably an injector that is sticky, as it warms up it starts working properly.

2004 pontiac grand am misfire

Check the plug wires for those 2 cylinders, next check the injectors, as they can cause misfire when defective.

Cylinder 3 misfire

Make sure you're using the recommended spark plugs. When my car did that, I had put Bosch Platinum Plus-4 plugs in and got that same problem. Turns out the plugs are too hot and cause it to fire prematurely and kick the misfire code.
