P0300 Random Misfires normally caused by vacuum leaks and bad fuel

Also engine misfiring can be caused by worn or fouled spark plugs, a weak spark (weak coil, bad spark plug wire), loss of compression, vacuum leaks, anything that causes an unusually lean fuel mixture (lean misfire), an EGR valve that is stuck open, dirty fuel injectors, low fuel pressure, or even bad fuel

Temperature problem-check and test the thermostat and coolant level
