P0301 Cylinder 1 missfire

Hi guys,

I have a Mini R50 2002 and I have the Code P0301 Cylinder 1 missfire detected. I bought a new plugs, wires and coil pack, but the problem is still here.

It happenes only when the engine is warm and only when Idling. Also I have a small (1cm x 2cm) hole in the upper side of the airbox (just see through the side of the air filter).

Some help please?
Martin

First repair the hole even if you have to put duct tape over it. Then clear your code and see if it comes back. Let us know.

Ok, I will repair and then I let you know. Now I read that could be from the bad coolant temperature sensor or Thermostat too. I fix the hole first, thanks.

Ok Ive just put the duck tape over it and also I found the Intake hose broken, so I put more duck tape. Now I cleaned the Throttle body and its better, but I need few days for testing it.

Definitely replace those parts even if it doesn’t make a difference in your code issue.
