I the changed the plugs, wires, and coil pack. I checked engine light flashing on and off. Reading a PO300 code, Random misfire code?

No, it was running fine. Then one morning it heard a squeaking sound and it started to shake and the check engine light started flashing.

Hi Tina,

Does it misfire under power if so, then I would check the compression to see if all cylinders are okay it could be an injector,

here are two links that can help you

and

let me know what you find

Best, Ken
