I did find codes P0300 and P0358, just like the shop said. It was clear to me that code P0300 or general misfire code was the result of the ECM going into low voltage mode, and causing a misfire due to it. Low voltage will make the injectors open much less, causing a lean misfire. Code P0358 pointed directly to the alternator or its circuit. I knew then that what was needed was for the wiring harness to .... See what happened next!.... Get the whole story right now!..... Learn and have fun.... Presented using ...
