The car started to do this almost a year ago and it has been getting on my nerves. The car idle will never stay put it sounds like there is a load and the rpm bogs down a little, but never to the point where it cuts off. And every now and then I will get the random misfire code. I have change the plugs, wires, and coil pack so I have just given up any ideas. I would want to say idle control vavle but don't want to go spend the money and don't fix it. thank you for your help

P0300= Random, multiple cylinder missfire detected, when was the last tune up? And check the fuel pressure....

Let me know what you find.
