Try replacing the plugs and wires
P0303 is cylinder #3 misfire. P0300 would be random misfire. Either way you need to diagnose the case of a misfire. Check spark plugs, plug wires(if equipped), cylinder compression, fuel inectors, and wiring.

Number 3 cylinder is misfiring, it could be for several reasons such as a bad spark plug, a bad spark plug wire, a bad distributor cap, a bad rotor, a bad fuel injector, low compression due to a burned valve, large vacuum leak,
New spark plugs and plug wires. Do not gap the plugs, they are factory gapped. If you stick a feeler gauge in them you will ruin the platinum plating.
