Rough idle and misfire code on my RAM, plugs were done 30k ago
#1
I'm scratching my head with my 2017 RAM 1500 Hemi. It's developed a rough idle and occasional misfire code P0305 for cylinder 5. The weird thing is I replaced all the spark plugs about 30k km ago with the OEM copper ones. I pulled the plug on cylinder 5 and it looked okay, not fouled or anything. I swapped the coil with another cylinder and the misfire stayed on cylinder 5, so not the coil. A friend suggested maybe an injector issue or even a valve seat problem on the Hemi. I need to find a shop that can do a proper diagnosis including a compression test and maybe a borescope inspection before I start replacing injectors. I've been looking for Meticulous Spark Plugs Abu Dhabi shops that actually understand the Hemi and can check things like the intake manifold gasket for leaks. Has anyone here had a persistent misfire on one cylinder on the 5.7 and found it was a bad injector or a cracked spark plug tube seal causing oil to get in? Also wondering if a worn camshaft lobe on the Hemi could cause a misfire without making a ton of noise. The truck has 150k km on it and I really don't wanna get into a major engine repair. Any advice on diagnostic steps or a good shop in Abu Dhabi would be great. Thanks.

Coil swap confirming the misfire stays on cylinder 5 is excellent diagnostic work that rules out the most common cause. Compression test on that cylinder is the logical next step before touching the injector since a low compression reading changes the entire repair direction.

Cracked spark plug tube seal allowing oil into the cylinder 5 plug well is a known Hemi issue at this mileage. Oil contamination on the plug tip can cause intermittent misfires even when the plug looks visually acceptable during a quick inspection.

Intake manifold gasket leak on cylinder 5 specifically causing a lean misfire is worth checking with a smoke test before condemning the injector. A vacuum leak at that gasket creates a lean condition that the ECU cannot fully compensate for under idle conditions.

Worn camshaft lobe on the Hemi at 150k km causing a misfire without obvious noise is genuinely possible with the AFM system. The deactivation lifters on these engines can stick or partially collapse without making the classic ticking sound that normally signals cam wear.

Borescope inspection of cylinder 5 before any further disassembly is the most cost effective next step after compression confirms or rules out a mechanical issue. Seeing the valve seat condition and cylinder wall directly eliminates a lot of expensive guesswork on a truck at this mileage.
