P0300 (to P0306) - Cylinder Misfire Detected
The Technical Definition: The engine is experiencing misfires. P0300 means it's random/multiple cylinders. Codes P0301 through P0306 pinpoint the exact cylinder (e.g., P0302 is cylinder 2).
Common Symptoms: Rough idle, hesitation during acceleration, loss of power, and a flashing check engine light (which means severe misfire).
Typical Fix: Start with the basics: replace the spark plug and the ignition coil for the specific cylinder throwing the code. If you have a 2012 model throwing a code specifically for the left bank (cylinders 2, 4, 6), be aware that this can sometimes point to the infamous left cylinder head issue that required replacement.
