P306

[VoyDude]

I was driving back home a few days ago and the Voy started hesitating really bad. It felt like if she wanted to turn off. My "service engine" light started to flash. The next day I took it to my local gas station so they could check what code it was throwing (I really need to invest in a code reader). They told me it was P306 and that my cylinder 6 was misfiring. I recently put new plugs in so I guessed it had to be the coil. I drove to the closest O'Reilly and picked up a new coil (MasterPro) for 62.99. The Voy is running smoothly. My question now is, has anyone had any used the MasterPro brand? Any good? It came with a lifetime warranty which is good. I'm thinking about replacing all the coils as preventative maintenance. Anyone know where I can get a good deal on OEM coil pack? Thanks in advance.

Good job on the fix!

I haven't read much on MasterPro. I got OEM spares from ebay. I got a half a dozen for less then what autozone sells a single new delphi for.

Thanks! I've been trying to find some OEM coils on ebay as well but haven't had any luck. Also...any ideas on a good code reader? I really should invest in one but not sure what would be good. Thanks again for the help.

If you have an Android based smart phone, get the Torque app and buy an OBDII bluetooth on ebay...should cost you about $25-30 all up. If you don't, a Scanguage II can be had, from your local auto parts store, for about $160.

For a simple read and erase tool, this works fine. I have one, but I use the Torque app now. And, Torque is cheaper if you have an Android.

Thanks for the information everyone. I downloaded the Torque app today and ordered the OBDII bluetooth as well. Very inexpensive. Glad i asked. Pops informed his "check engine" light just came on so I have something to play with now. I'll let you know how it all works out. Thanks again.
