Hi everyone, my wagon has had a problem for about a week+. It started the day I gave another car a jump. The other car didn't start, so my car idled maybe 10 - 15 minutes. Later when I was driving over the pass, my car started to blink CELs. It turned out to be Code 301, "#1 cylinder missfire". I've subsequentlly replaced the plugs, distributor cap & rotor, then finally the wires. Each time it would again throw the CEL Code 301. I'm now stumped, and hope someone out there has ideas on what I do next. My car has 214,000 miles, but has run great until then. Thanks ahead for any help.

It is time for a compression check. Also get a wire tester and verify that #1 is getting spark. If compression and spark are OK, check out the injector.

Thanks for the reply, Klaus. I'll see about getting the tools needed to do those test. I hope I can diagnose the problem with those test.
