Diagnosis code p0300

Hello,

Okay, Direct Trouble Code[DTC] P0300 is just a a DTC for a random misfire. DTC's P0301-P0310 are DTC's for specific cylinders with the numbers after the 3 being the cylinder number. I would check for a vacuum leak, inspecting the air intake tract, throttle body, intake manifold, and all vacuum and EVAP hoses. Look for cracked, cut, or heated dry rotted hoses, make sure the intake air tract pieces are all securely fitted together, and that the throttle body and intake manifold gaskets are not leaking. If you are worried about your vehicle's cylinder head having a hairline crack in it, you can do a compression test on your vehicle and that will let you know if there is one. A hairline crack will let the compression bleed out on the cylinder where it is. If it is in between cylinders, then you will probably be leaking coolant out of it and it will be mixing with the engine oil and possibly causing a hydrolock symptom in the effected cylinder. Here is a link down below on how to do a compression test:

Thanks, I didn't realize I'd get a response so quickly and haven't started that list yet.
If this changes things my OBDII scanner popped a P0302 code. It didn't trigger the dash as cylinder 2 must have self corrected quickly. I guess if 2 doesn't misfire in the next 40 miles the pending code.on the OBDII will reset itself.
Anyway I'll get on that list and see what I can rule out. Thanks again
