Check Engine Light

[porschenut]

Didn't start my car for about 6 weeks while I was away. Started the other day and a lot of smoke came out at first for a minute or two then it's normal, when I got in the car the engine light came on. Any ideas? Where can I go to read the codes for free / cheap?

Try Autozone.

Sounds like maybe an AOS failure.

Here's a little something on it I am sure that you can find what you need from here also the postponed trip to Sacramento had someone needing to do the same maybe he could help you if he understands it better.

Does it continue to blow smoke?

If so, do a search here for AOS repairs and also have a look at the oil filler tube. Both are plastic and will eventually break.

So I went to Autozone today and got the codes read, they won't reset them though. Here's what they found P0300, P0301, P0304. Can someone tell me what's the problem, how severe and what's the fix with estimated cost please? Thanks.

Those are misfire codes 300 = multiple misfires, 301 cylinder 1 and 304 cylinder 4.

As I said before...

Thanks Loren, no it doesn't blow any smoke. Will an AOS trigger the misfire?

[Loren]

It can - because you have a fouled mixture.

Any spark plugs changes or coils issues recently?

Sounds more like coil pack &/or plugs....

No all original. I'll check the oil filler tube tomorrow.

Check your number 1 and 4 plug and coil pack..could be bad.

Good luck
