yay another p0300 problem
Yes iv looked in the forums and stuff, but my p0300 problems kinda weird
when im on highway in 5th gear usually in between 70-80 mph, when i accel then deccel (not letting off the throttle) while im lightly on the throttle then i press down just a little and it starts to shudder and vibrate, more gas more vibration and the car just shakes and does not accel (feels like I started a chain of misfiring) then guess wat? throws a cel p0300. when at WOT theres no problem just when im lightly on the throttle. When it vibrates i let off the throttle and just give it throttle again and its just like nothing happened and a couple mins later it does it again....
i regapped the plugs and it didnt do anything except make my car worse, i cant even WOT without misfiring after i regapped.
then i just bought some ngk iridium plugs hoping it might possibly be bad plugs but that didnt do anything
seems to be that it misfires more in the rain and after a full tank of gas it seems like it likes to misfire. also after driving it on the freeway for 20+ mins
anyone have any idea?? thx

i get the exact same thing, but i know why mine is doing it...it is because the clutch is emitting some harmonics through the drivetrain and setting off the knock sensor...
did you do any upgrades to your car before this happened?

OK I know what your problem is and I will tell you what's causing is and how to fix it (maybe)
first of all your guess that it is harmonics is correct, there are only four pickups on the crank position sensor and the harmonics confuse the the knock sensor and so the ecu cuts igniton and you get the misfire and 0300 code.
fixes
1. get ecu reflashed by dealer for factory fix (most likely won't work)
2. get creader off ebay for $45.00 (helps catch erant codes and fixes cell light when it comes on)
hope this helps

What clutch do you have?
Will the exedy twin clutch cause this problem?
