I’m having trouble with my car listed above. I get codes P0300 and P0118. i changed the temperature sensor, spark plugs, coils, cam and crank sensors and the runner valve. every code that came up has been tended to, but i am still getting misfire and rough idle. even my mechanic has been dumbfounded for the last 2 weeks.

Good afternoon,

Did anyone check the fuel pressure? That is the most common issue for the 300 misfire code.

You can rent a tester at a parts store to verify.
