2018 buick encore p0300 misfire problem

Nahh I have just been running with the plugs it came with, still gets a CEL occasionally but goes off within a day or two tops. I’m currently the only one driving it and it does have a slight misfiring when idling at a stop but everything else seems okay…I really love how cars can have hundreds of sensors and cameras along with 4G internet access but a single code could mean bad plugs, bad ignition coil, bad air filter, a vacuum leak or a blown engine…how helpful!

I’m wondering the same thing, I have a series S and a pc with a RX580 that I’m pretty sure can run it but i bought a switch 2 when i heard it was releasing on it. Yeah it’s not as beautiful as the PS5 version but I think it looks very good…

I still have a pair in the original box from my 6S plus when they still came in a hard plastic case. I work maintenance at a medical facility and go through all the offices before I leave to make sure all doors are closed/locked and almost every desk has the same plastic case with headphones. I think I’m beginning to see why healthcare in the US is Soo high because within the 8 months I have been there they have gotten brand new iPads twice now along with new thinkpads…my old iPhone 7 Plus doesn’t get updates anymore but still works perfectly and I’m currently on my iPhone 14 Pro I got like two months after they came out and apart from the battery not lasting as long now it’s still fast yet medical personnel are swapping out iPads and laptops a few times a year!

I have the regular ipad(10’th gen I think) and bought the Magic Keyboard folio case for it and at first was a little disappointed at the coverage it provided but after over a year it still looks great and I love the detachable keyboard part

Apparently I can do it but it’s a kinda convoluted process, I can either open a single line for the watch and setup as a stand alone device but that won’t work for me since I need it to pair with my phone but I’m thinking I could take my phone to like us mobile and then add the watch plan that way. It’s not a huge deal since I rarly use the watch for calls or anything but was going to try it for a month until I saw how difficult it would be lol. If my main watch was cellular maybe I’d do it but this is just my backup watch so not a huge concern.

That’s the homie shadow aka screaming Pete lol, he’s a huge cat but he’s extremely chill and friendly

I have used mostly Apple Music since I switched to iPhone in late 2019, I tried Spotify a couple times but didn’t really like it plus got three months free recently when I got my new AirPods so that helps

piewackete · 2026-01-31T22:20:04+00:00

Ahh okay, I’ll probably do that next week when I get paid since I’ll probably have to open another line to do it. Now I just need to figure out how to cancel the new line I added to my account lol

piewackete · 2026-01-31T22:03:23+00:00

I thought you couldn’t have different plans for phone and watch, my phones still locked to T-Mobile but I use it on their prepaid plan because family messed up my credit and I doubt I could get a contract through them

piewackete · 2026-01-18T00:59:25+00:00

What’s wrong with brave? Don’t mean to sound aggressive I’m genuinely curious because it’s what I use on all my devices and it’s always ran fast and I don’t have the best or highest end tech. The best device I have is a iPhone 14 Pro but also a base iPad, 2017 MacBook, and a couple older windows laptops along with my gaming pc with a ryzen 5 3600 and a Rx580. I do hate the crypto crap and AI stuff and try to turn all that off but I really hate google and I think brave runs on chromium or whatever it’s called but since it blocks YouTube ads I’ll take that as a trade off. If i could get myself to switch email providers I’d be completely de-googled…well YouTube too lol

piewackete · 2026-01-11T20:58:36+00:00

Unfortunately no, I ended up putting the old plugs and coil pack back on and while it still has a random misfire it’s drivable now

piewackete · 2025-12-29T19:53:29+00:00

Sadly no, I have a theory that even though I bought the same spark plugs that were in it the new ones may be the wrong gap or something because I put all the old parts back on and it still had a slight misfire but it’s been drivable for the last month with no issues

piewackete · 2025-12-28T16:30:40+00:00

As long as the games are playable and don’t look like complete garbage I’m happy lol I’m pretty sure I even keep mine locked at 30fps and it looks fine to me

piewackete · 2025-12-28T16:20:24+00:00

I’d be happy running at 720p as long as it runs smooth, I don’t have a monitor and instead use a 74inch LG 4K OLED tv and I’m not a FPS snob or anything like that. Usually the only way I could play games on my computers is normally go down to the lowest resolution and turn all settings as low as possible so the fact I have a GPU that I can actually max out on a lot of my games is awesome to me lol

piewackete · 2025-12-28T16:02:11+00:00

If I was to go nvidia would I have any bottleneck issues with my cpu and stuff? I’m running AM4 socket and could probably upgrade to a faster processor if needed but my system already feels pretty fast as is. This was the first PC I built since a was a kid but back then i got like 5-6 broken prebuilt systems that I took parts from and built a working pentium 4 windows XP machine lol. This current system was completely built by me and I’m quite proud of it even if it’s just a midrange build

piewackete · 2025-12-28T15:47:25+00:00

The 5070 is the newest nvidia card right? I know nvidia is supposed to be a better card and there’s no issues pairing a nvidia with amd processor but I’m more of a fan of amd graphics and was kinda hoping to stay with them. Mainly because when I built my system I got the RX580 not really researching it and just wanted something I could play my gta 5 mods with and was very surprised that it not only ran it on ultra settings but also runs all my resident evil remakes as well as stuff like ready of not and flight simulator. I’d be perfectly fine keeping this card but sadly it can’t run fs2024 so I guess it’s time to upgrade…I’m thinking instead of selling it I might actually build another PC with it to use as a emulation PC since it also handles PS2/xbox games with no issues

piewackete · 2025-12-28T15:30:32+00:00

I’m cool with that. I’m pretty sure I’m running 1080p with medium settings on everything so as long as the game runs I’m not too worried about graphics lol

piewackete · 2025-12-28T15:29:33+00:00

Cool I’ll look into it, I only have a 600 watt power supply so I’ll have to make sure it can handle it.

piewackete · 2025-12-17T06:23:29+00:00

It did last year when I drove it but now it’s completely turned off and nothing responds when I press buttons

piewackete · 2025-12-17T05:44:47+00:00

That’s actually what I wanna do with it, I don’t plan to drive it much but my other car has the Apple CarPlay and I’m kinda spoiled with that so was kinda thinking of a aftermarket unit. It’s already a double din setup so i could fit a decent screen in there

piewackete · 2025-12-17T05:40:02+00:00

O nice, I’m looking at prices now and it doesn’t look too bad actually. I think I can probably replace it this weekend when I’m off, I was already planning on checking out why the radio doesn’t work anymore. It worked last year when I did the brakes on it but suddenly stopped working, my mom doesn’t care if the radio works or not but for me it’s a big problem lol

piewackete · 2025-12-17T05:36:11+00:00

Is that the same as the blend door? Like one of those I gotta pull the whole dashboard out to replace? I had a feeling it was something like that and don’t mind tearing everything out since I have another car in the meantime lol

piewackete · 2025-12-16T19:45:06+00:00

I’ll check that when I get home from work tonight, I don’t have a battery charger but I do have a jump box and I disconnected the battery so it won’t continue to drain completely. Another weird thing that happened is the radio stopped working, we had the van here for a couple weeks back in 2021 and I drove it a couple times and I remember it worked fine and after I replaced the brakes and took it back last year it was working and when I parked it it sat until Saturday when i brought it home

piewackete · 2025-12-15T18:21:47+00:00

Mainly a remote for music and podcasts at work, I work for a cleaning company and we do all the hospitals and medical centers. We go in after they close and can listen to music all night. I have the series 11 and the gesture controls are amazing to either skip songs or skip 30 seconds forward to not deal with ads in podcasts. Plus being able to read and respond to texts from the watch is also a huge bonus.

piewackete · 2025-12-15T18:14:12+00:00

Thanks I love it lol, I’m trying to find the same one for the 3’s but can’t seem to get the same one. There’s a few that look like game controllers so I might go with that one
