My engine is misfiring in very weird ways. The computer is giving me a multiple misfire message so we have checked Spark plugs, wires, coils, fuel filter and cleaned our my air filter. What happens is it misfires when it is idling and then anytime i press the gas peddle down more than an inch or so it almost chokes out and cannot accelerate until i release the pedal back out. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks

you mean multiple misfire as random misfire?
p0300?
if you got different codes than this one please let me know.
you may have burn burned exhaust valve or a
faulty catalytic converter(s) .

a stuck/blocked EGR valve / passages cause the same problems or a faulty camshaft position sensor
if everything look good and test good ,the last thing to look at will be for a defective computer .
for component testing or questions please let me know.
