DTC P1305 sets when the ECM commands ignition on the number 2 igniter circuit but does not receive the expected IGF feedback, or detects a fault in that igniter circuit. This usually indicates a coil or igniter on the number 2 circuit that is not firing correctly or a wiring fault in its IGT or IGF circuit. When this code is stored the engine may misfire, run rough, lack power, or fail to ...
