Good morning,

I would start by performing a compression test to make sure there is no internal damage to the motor.

How old are the tune-up parts?

I would also check the fuel pressure as well to be sure the proper amount of fuel is being sent to the engine.

I replaced the ignition control module and that fixed the P0300 trouble code and misfire. Thank you.
