I keep my car parked most of the year and drive only 4months yearly I've got 111xxxkm on he dash

Typically I start her up every 2nd weekend. This year for about 2 months I didn't start my car now when I did its running a little crazy and I'm getting check engine light for P0303

a friend of mine tells me to change the gas, oil, spark plugs and clear the code then drive around it should be fine.

Anyone else have this problem recently who can share some info out here or do I just need to drive her?

I don't take her on the road till June 1st so ill wait till then to drive around but any help meanwhile is greatly appreciated

Google says that its a Cyl #3 misfire and on tuners, a guy who had the code replaced his plug wires and everything was okay. Plugs and wires would get my guess.

It is just a misfire code. Get some fresh gas, check your plugs or change them for the $12 it cost. And drive the poor girl. If the light comes back worry about it then.

Also agree on misfire. I had this code last season and with new plugs and wires she's been purring ever since
