Some Mitsubishi Mirage owners report experiencing issues with a misfire in cylinder number 2, indicated by the error code P0302. This misfire can lead to drivability concerns, such as rough idling, poor acceleration, and the illumination of the check engine light. Possible causes for this issue include faulty spark plugs, ignition coils, fuel injectors, vacuum leaks, low compression, or problems with the engine control module. When diagnosing the misfire, owners are advised to check for intake leaks and consider replacing the spark plugs if no leaks are found. Prompt attention to these symptoms and systematic diagnosis of potential causes is essential to ensure optimal vehicle performance and prevent further complications.
