You have a few different problems. Id first check the fuel filter and then check for a vacuum leak.

I have a 02 silverado and recently had my truck repaired. I had codes P0300, P0171 and P0174. Everyone was telling me it was my O2 sensors or vacuum leaks. With my truck, my intake manifold and throttle body gaskets were leaking and also my mass air flow sensor was out. This was causing the misfires which is code P0300. After they changed the gaskets and changed out the mass air flow sensor my truck runs great. Thankfully it was covered under warranty or it would have cost around $700. The tech said it was common on our year models.

Do you have an aftermarket air filter like a K&N?
