Cylinder 2 misfire... Confused
Hey guys, new here and thank you in advance.
I just bought my 2007 Chrysler 300 base model 2.7. Everything was fine until 3 days in, besides a slow crank due to a dying battery. After I replaced the battery and took the car to get washed (included a bottom end high pressure spray) I went to crank it over a the next day and it hesitated. Check engine light popped and the car started to hesitate as I hit the throttle. P0302 and no other codes.
Symptoms:
When the cars motor is cold, it fires right up and drives like a charm. I can drive it for hours with no issue, misfire or stutter.
After I drive it and the cars motor gets to normal operating temperature, if I shut it off and start it again it has a slow crank and will start to misfire with the check engine light flashing and beeping every time I put my foot on the gas.
What I've done:
I've changed the spark plugs, coils, ran fuel injector cleaner, tested the spark plug connector, also tested the fuel injector for voltage.
Something odd:
It rained over night, I started the car in the morning and it ran fine. Started it again after normal operating temp was reached and still no issues. I reset the codes and it never came back. 3 days, 22 starts and 200 miles all while it was raining outside. This morning, no rain or wet roads it started to do the same thing after I cranked it with a warm motor.
Any idea what to do?!? Or what it could be?!
