CONDITION SUMMARY:
Situation:

NOTE: This bulletin supersedes all previous versions; the Service Instructions have changed
significantly and are therefore not highlighted.
The engine may exhibit a misfire, poor fuel economy, hard starting, and / or a rough idle condition when the
engine is either cold or hot. The engine Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) may also be illuminated with misfire
Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC) P0301 through P0308, depending on the affected cylinder(s), and P0316 stored
in the Engine Control Module (ECM).

Cause: This may be caused by incomplete combustion caused by poor fueling.

NOTE: The Service Instruction may only be completed if no other causes for the misfire are
identified after following SDD and TOPIx advice.

NOTE: The Service Instruction may only be completed if Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) P0316
and one or more misfire DTCs (P0301-P0308) is stored. If any other DTC is stored, investigate the
cause and carry out the appropriate repair as a separate claim.
Action: Should a customer express this concern, follow the appropriate Service Instruction (1, 2, and/or 3)
outlined below:
