Everyone that I ask doesn't seem to find the problem one mechanic told me that it has no compression
I really don't have the money to spend and keep changing parts I haven't found a job in 5 months I'm a truck driver but I been checking your videos to try to figure out the problem but lost

Marlon, we're happy to help! :) But we need some more info first.

What kind of tooling and test equipment do you have available? Test light, multimeter, scan tool? Compression gauge?

What testing have YOU done so far? Not what the dealer or anyone else says.

Does the P0351 always set with the P0300? Put another way, if you clear the codes and start the engine, do both codes return? Please, be clear about this. The presence of the P0351 means going in a completely different diagnostic direction.
