P0300 - RANDOM MISFIRE DETECTED

Description:  The random misfire DTC indicates multiple cylinders are misfiring or the powertrain control module (PCM) cannot identify which cylinder is misfiring.
Possible Causes: 
  • Camshaft position sensor (CMP)
  • Low fuel (less than 1/8 tank)
  • Stuck open EGR valve
  • Blocked EGR passages
Diagnostic Aids:  One or more EGR passages may be blocked or partially blocked. If this is the case the misfire detection monitor indicates the EGR port to check for possible blockage.
