P0300 on a Nissan Rogue
Random/Multiple Cylinder Misfire Detected
QR25 Rogue (and the 1.5T where applicable).
What P0300 usually means on a Rogue
P0300 on the Rogue points first at ignition, since the QR25DE is known for coils that weaken with age, letting misfire wander between cylinders. Worn plugs and vacuum leaks are next. On very high-mileage engines, rule out compression issues. It usually presents as an idle shake or a stumble under acceleration, and a persistent misfire risks the converter.
Most likely causes on this model
- Failing ignition coils
QR25 coils fail with age; a weak one sets a random misfire.
- Worn spark plugs
Overdue plugs misfire across cylinders.
- Vacuum or intake leak
A cracked hose or gasket leans several cylinders.
- Low compression
High-mileage QR25s can develop cylinder wear that misfires broadly.
What it costs on a Rogue
Coils and plugs are all on top of the engine, so a full refresh is a moderate, straightforward job. A coil swap makes diagnosis cheap. Only a compression problem pushes the repair into serious territory.
