Engine Check Error Code: P0303 & P0313

Hi,

Can someone who has access to a service manual tell me what the following error codes exactly mean and how I go about remedying the situation:

P0304: Cylinder 4 Misfire
P0313: Low Fuel Level Detection

Thanks!!!

thanks for the response 91RS. there's currently 65000 miles, give or take. the car is a 2004 and has all services performed by the dealership.

I'm thinking I've read something about coils being a problem. Try swapping the plug with one cylinder and the coil with another cylinder and see if the misfire follows. I'd start with the misfire first, because that could fix the other code.

P0313 = Misfire Detected with Low Fuel

Fill the fuel tank - check fuel filter - do as 91RS states - wires, plugs, coils.

This is really a fuel starvation problem. Fuel pump might be getting lazy but check filter first.

Hi I have 2005 c230k with 46000 miles on it , on friday my engine start runing rough , at first there wasn't any cel on , then after i drive for a while the car went fine , on saturday i went to start the car in the afternoom , it runs very rough again from cold start and rough idle didn't go away even after I drove it for a while .. cel came on after 30 miles then I got the code for p0300 p0301 p0302 p0303 p0304 and p0313 is the pending code for fuel low . now I have been reading alot post here about the rough idle problem here . my car only runs rough on idle . once I start going the engine feels fine and no power lost but only idle really rough like it about to choke but it just dosn't die on me ( I guess it's a good thing ) last time I took the car into dealer to get two valve changed for supercharge system , that was 3 month ago I check with the SA all the recall has been done on my car ( but I will check again just to see if SA miss anything ) so I guess that would be the fuel system that's causing the problem . and the code I got was from a scan tool ( should I have my friends put on the start system to see if there is anymore code ?) please help , your time will be thankful

Hopefully another MB soon..
This happened to my C240, has 98k miles, and 5 cylinders misfired.. It drove normal two days later, and my friend cleared my codes. Is there anyway to prevent this in the future? (I guess I'm saying I have the same problem too)

Hi boyang81, did you ever get this figured out? I am having a very similar issue with my 2006 C230 Sport. Thanks
