Does Your Car Have Code P0300?

This code will set your check engine light and needs to be fixed as soon as possible. If it is not then you will probably need to replace your catalytic converter as well as the problem that is causing your misfire.

There are many causes for this obd code. Since it is a "random misfire" or "multiple misfire" this means that the misfire is on different cylinders and not just one all the time. This means that the most likely causes are things like:

Low Fuel Pressure
Vacuum Leak
EGR system malfunction
Internal Engine Problems (such as low compression)

BUT other things that can cause this code are:

Faulty Coil
Faulty Spark Plugs and/or Wires
Camshaft or Crankshaft sensors
Ignition module
Computer

The first thing I would do if the problem wasn't obvious by inspection is a full tune up. Many times this will fix this code. If you want to do more diagnosis so you don't just throw parts at it you will need to check each of the above items starting with the top four.
This code is one of the most common codes ever. If you notice that your check engine light is on you should have it checked for this code. If it is flashing then it is almost certainly this one or one like it such as p0301, p0302, etc. These are codes that show which cylinder the misfire is located in.
If you don't know how to check the items in the list above you should take your car to a good auto repair shop. It probably will not (in most cases) cost too much for them to repair this problem. You car will run better, have more power and get better fuel mileage if you get code p0300 repaired. It will also not be causing other problems by driving it like this.
