2005 Dodge Ram 1500 5.7 P0300 - All cylinders misfiring

320

Asked by httysctty Oct 14, 2013 at 03:02 PM about the 2005 Dodge RAM 1500 SLT Quad Cab RWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

Hello,
My truck started to misfire a short time ago.  Before the issue, I replaced the plugs (copper), ran SeaFoam through vacuum tubes a couple times and it ran fine for months.  A couple months ago I noticed sluggish acceleration around 2000 RPM and then started throwing P0300's.  I replaced the EGR, cleaned the Throttle plate and sensor.  Today, I had a computer hooked up to it to show all 8 cylinders misfiring randomly.  The mechanic said I need new plugs, another mechanic said it was a ignition coil going.  

What could cause all cylinders to misfire?  Any and all help is appreciated!

My truck:
165k miles
K&N filter
Super Chip
Amsoil for past 100k

Thanks!
Scott R

***UPDATE*** I read a little more on this issue and even though I installed a new EGR, I unplugged it. My truck runs perfect now, minus the CEL. No more misfiring and my MPH is going back up... Any ideas on what could be the issue?

I unplugged my egr valve after replacing it 3 times. Runs fine buck light stays on. Ran many test's and no one could tell me. Someone said it could be not the egr itself, but a sensor connected to it. Been a couple years running as it. Try unplugging.

I have a 07 Dodge Ram 5.7 Hemi started bogging on the highway and then ruff idiol when I stop and sometimes turns off. Went to Autozone and Orielys to get a idea what it is and got p0300, p0306. Cylinder 6 misfire, multiple misfire. So I put New coil pack on cylinder 6 and change all plugs and still running like shit. I have no idea what it can be. Any suggestions?

I just replaced the head gaskets on my 2005 5.7, new plugs and wires, all new gaskets. Now I can get it to start, but I think the timing went out of whack. It'll only stay running for about 5 seconds. It doesn't have a knocking sound but it definitely sounds like it's fighting itself. Extremely rough running. Thoughts, ideas, I'm really needing to get it back on the road, I'm borrowing my dad's truck and he needs it back.
