P0300 3-5Krpm triggers Check Engine Light and Hold light flashes. Otherwise my wife’s 2005, 145kMiles runs great.
I have searched the forum with varied success concerning this issue. It seems like it haunts more than one owner. I have a new clue to solving the issue. Since I have tried remedies from many different threads I would start this one in hope of finding a answer once and for all.
I have found that many things can cause a P0300- Random/Multiple Cylinder Misfire Detected
Vacuum leaks, bad coil, bad wires, EGR Valve, Fuel pressure or pump, Fuel injectors, .
I have changed the plugs, wires, coil, changed the EGR valve, check the batt cables, and battery, and all vacuum lines and the problem still exists.
While the last round of testing I have found that the code starts when under load in third gear right after the shift. Not to say that easy driving also produces the code and lights.
Any further suggestions?
