What a day,

My CEL came on today and is staying on. No flashing. I took the car to Autozone to have the codes read. 305 popped up. The guy said that 305 meant misfire on cylinder #5. He was telling me this from memory. Is this correct? What are some of the causes I should be looking at? If I do correct the problem, is there some way of making the CEL go out without a trip to the dealer? The autozone guy said they weren't allowed to clear codes.

Thanks

he's correct
check plugs/wires
you can pull the battery cable to clear it or you can pull two fuses, but I don't remeber #s on 2000
clearing codes is not that big of a deal, but you need to find what's causing the misfire

From the Ford Technical Service Publication:

Misfire Continuous Memory Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs):
P0301 - Cyl #1, Inj Test Pin 75
P0302 - Cyl #2, Inj Test Pin 101
P0303 - Cyl #3, Inj Test Pin 74
P0304 - Cyl #4, Inj Test Pin 100
P0305 - Cyl #5, Inj Test Pin 73
P0306 - Cyl #6, Inj Test Pin 99
P0307 - Cyl #7, Inj Test Pin 72
P0308 - Cyl #8, Inj Test Pin 98
P0300 - multiple cylinders misfiring, or cannot identify cylinder due to Camshaft Position sensor failure.

Possible causes:
-- Ignition System.
-- Fuel Injectors.
-- Fuel Pressure.
-- Evaporative System.
-- Canister Purge.
-- Base Engine.
-- Running out of fuel.

NOTE:
Running out of fuel may turn on the MIL and possibly store a Continuous Misfire DTC.


Did you run out of gas lately?
