***CLIFF NOTES (For the ones that don’t like to read)***
- 2004 Titan SE Tow Package 98K miles
- Started sputtering and loss power while towing trailer (5000lbs)
- Put in Park revs to about 4000rpms and then sputters
- Check engine Light\ P0300 Random Cylinder Misfire
- Drove hour home truck kept sputtering and would limit rev till eventually would not allow to rev. I would turn off truck and it would work but eventually die out.
- Last 2 miles home it would not rev over 1400rpm
- When I start and rev up it sputters and then completely dies
WHAT DO I DO
I have a 2004 Titan SE Tow Package 98k miles
A little over a year ago I was towing a trailer that weighed about 3500lbs when the truck started to sputter and loose power.
Took it to the dealership they could not reproduce problem nor did it have any error codes.
6 Months later towed the same trailer 6 hours and then towed back a trailer weighing in at about 5000lbs and had no problems
Fast forward…
Today I went to tow a trailer weighing about 5000lbs. I got 2 hours into my 3 hour journey when the truck started to sputter as I went up a hill.
It eventually got so bad it would only let me rev up to 2000rpms. I pulled over put it in park, it went up to about 4000rpm’ before it sputtered and dropped down.
After playing with it for awhile I got it to throw a check engine code. I took it to the dealer and they read the code p0300 Multiple Cylinder Misfires. He recommended that I change the spark plugs because of the mileage.
NOTE: through out this all it would get better at some points running just fine and then it would progressively start to limit the rev.. It also completely died on me a couple of times
I limped it the hour and half home. As I drove home it would start out either perfect or limit the rev to 4000rpms and then slowly limit the rev till it would only rev to 1500rpms. I would pull over turn the truck off, immediately turn it back on and it would either allow me to rev prefect or to 4000rpms… and repeat.
It was a fun drive home!
Then on the last 4 miles it got to the point were it would only let me rev to 15000rpm.
I got it home let it sit for an hour, went back out and started it up in park, I could rev it up to about 4000rpms and then it would sputter and completely die. I did this several times.
No KOH for me:mad3::mad3:
