I need to know what I should do for the codes P0300-which means random cylinders misfiring, and P0302-which means number two cylinder misfiring. If anyone has any suggestions of what I should do to fix it I would appreciate the help. Thanks, Katie

 

check your timing and your plugs. if not your plugs check caps wires and distributer (not sure if its old enough for that last one) check all the cheap things first

 

Well the plug wires are around 130$ so start with the plugs....DO NOT be fooled by aftermarket plug wires...they are more expensive and do ABSOLUTLY NOTHING for the cars performance. Trust me !!!!! Also VW done a really good job on their wires because RARELY will you EVER have to replace them. They are meant to outlast the car. Im not saying it isnt possible but......you know....

 

I had a code like that, I changed plugs & wires and nothing happened. I had to change my coil pack, which is usually $400 at least. Got one off Ebay for $200, but had to switch the plug from the old one, worked like a champ!! Car ran better
