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.

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
