I took my car up the street to my friend's house just now and it was acting extremely weird. Rough idle and low power. The Check Engine light is on. I pulled the codes and this is what I got but I have no clue what they mean. Glynn where are you!?

The Codes: P0301, P0304, P0354

1st lite

Here is what the codes you pulled mean.
P0301 - cylinder 1 misfire detected
P0304 - cylinder 4 misfire detected
P0354 - ignition coil D primary/secondary circuit.

You wouldn't happen to know what I need to do to fix this problem would you?

Awww Geee! What would I do with out my MBWorld Family! Thanks Guys I really appreciate it! I haven't changed the sparked plugs let yet so I think I am going to change out all 4 coil packs and spark plugs. I got a quote just now from a local shop for $350 parts included. Does this sound about right?

Utahkompressor

it's $200 for all 4 coils and plugs at rmeuropean.com!

Sorry ppb - missed your post - coil pack failure - you have been given wise advice - replace.

update! (i'm going to make this short) so as some of you may know i got in an accident. Caliber collision did the body work and then I guess decided to pressure wash the engine bay! I took my car to TWS and albert called me saying "what the hell did you do to your car!?" I told him about the car being at another shop and he said that they sprayed water in my engine bay and I guess water got all around my coil packs and spark plugs and that's what caused them to short and u can see the corrosion from on the spark plug and coil packs...i will update with pictures later. I gave them the car and it was perfectly fine without check engine light and it came back with this mess! I really don't know what to do at this point. The car has been fixed and runs great now but It's like i paid all this money to get it fixed for nothing!

Get or hang onto all documentation from TWS about their opinion about the source of the problem(s), the repairs necessary to fix everything, and the cost to you. Also make sure that you've got the documentation from the collision shop about the work they did, and hopefully the fact that they pressure washed the engine bay. Then call the manager of the collision shop, tell him what happened, and ask when you can expect a check reimbursing you for the coil pack repair costs. If he balks, tell him you'll send him all the documentation about the issue, it's cause, and the repairs. If he still refuses, then call your local state court clerk's office and ask how to get the necessary forms to file a small-claims case.

This argument raged on - on the 204 forum - people say I'm talking crap - but if you pressure wash these engines you are looking for trouble. It is banned by MBSA.

There is another reason that MB (and all other car manufacturers) design their vehicles to have hoods. And it's not aerodynamics or looks.

lol...i need a link for that...

there's a reason I don't visit 204 forum.

the second bug on my 204 just came up need to take it to dealership. dashboard gauge cluster trim is rattling. maybe they'll give me a 09+ cluster

Good thing you got your car fixed man.. When the car shows
P0301 - cylinder 1 misfire detected
P0304 - cylinder 4 misfire detected

Its 99% new wires needed.. After reading every ones posts on misfires new wires seem to do the trick.. Worked for me

already did 20k on new wires no issues..

Just be happy you don't have the 112 motor hehe
