2002 Dodge Durango 4.7 liter V8 while driving had a slight miss and a CEL (Check Engine Light). It just would not run perfect like it should.

Had it scanned and came back with a DTC P0307 code.





ODB-II Trouble code: P0307 Cylinder #7 Seven Misfire.

Before going all out on how to fix the issue we gotta KISS (Keep it Simple Stupid) at least in my book :).

Check the bottom of this post for a listing of some of the DTC codes for the 2002 Dodge Durango.

The first thing to check is the most simple and least expensive solution and this is what worked in our case.

Simple spark plug change out... For a set of 8 plugs and about an hour of your time it is worth the piece of mind to do it any way. That way you know it has been done.

This successfully fixed our issue, but on the off chance it does not rectify your miss or DTC code P0307 here are some other things to check.


A P0307 code means that the Durango's computer has detected that one of the engine's cylinders is not firing properly. In this instance its cylinder #7.

Symptoms that may occur:

The Durango may be hard to start or harder than it has been in the past.
The Engine may stumble, hesitate, or have a miss.

Things To Check:

Spark Plug
Coil Pack (on each plug)
O2 Sensor (Oxygen Sensor)
Fuel Injector
Burned Exhaust Valve
Catalytic Converter
Low Gas or fuel level
Low Compression on the Cylinder
Bad Computer or ECU (Electronic Control Unit)


Here is a quick brake down to decrypt some of the ODB-II codes and how to read them:
C codes, B codes, P codes, U codes

Format example:
P 0 1 0 1

1st letter
P = powertrain
B = Body
C = Chassis
U = Communication

1st digit
0 = Standard
1 = Manufacturer specific

2nd digit
1 = Emission management
2 = Injector circuit
3 = Ignition
4 = Auxiliary emission
5 = Vehicle speed & idle control
6 = Computer & output circuit
7 = Transmission

3rd and 4th digit are the specific trouble
