Question: Rough idle and hard starting
I just gave my Xterra a complete tune-up and it still idles a little rough and starts hard 90% of the time. When it starts, it smells lean and it idles rough 90% after a start up. The A/C also doesn't work and I hope they are related. There is a wire connector that is hanging from behind the drivers side head light and can't tell where it would connect to. It a 3 prong female end. Lite purple in color. Tested the codes and it came up with a PO300. One code with many different ideas of the problem. Is it a fuel pressure regulator, timing off or just a bad sensor? The A/C I'm sure is a totally separate issue. Can you help me? Thanks so much.
