P0300 Diagnostic Code - Random Misfire
P0303 and 0304 indicate a misfire in those numbered cylinders 3-4
Symptoms.
Engine may stumble or miss
Engine may be hard to start
you may notice no issues
Cause
Failing spark plugs or spark plug wires
Bad coil or coil pack
Failing oxygen sensor(s)
Bad fuel injector or more than one
Stuck exhaust valve
Bad catalytic converter
EGR valve or valve passage clogging
Bad camshaft position sensor
Bad PCM or ECM
The Fix
Best first action is a tune up, new plugs, wires, inspect all hoses and wire connections then reset the code. If it returns you will need to narrow it down to a system, coils and coil packs should be tested, catalytic converters for function ( do you smell rotten eggs?). A misfire that jumps cylinders could indicate a lean condition, do you have any other codes along with the 300? this will help clue you in to the source, check valve function to make sure they are opening and closing fully.
This is probably pone of the most difficult codes to troubleshoot, so start with the basics and work your way into the more expensive options, in many cases a good old tune up solves the problem, back it up with a fuel system cleaning and see where you stand.

What does that mean?A P0303 code means that the the car's computer has detected that one of the engine's cylinders is not firing properly. In this case it's cylinder #3. SymptomsSymptoms may include: the engine may be harder to startthe engine may stumble / stumble, and/or hesitateother symptoms may also be presentCausesA code P0303 may mean that one or more of the following has happened: Faulty spark plug or wireFaulty coil (pack)Faulty oxygen sensor(s)Faulty fuel injectorBurned exhaust valveFaulty catalytic converter(s)Running out of fuelPoor compressionDefective computerPossible SolutionsIf there are no symptoms, the simplest thing to do is to reset the code and see if it comes back. If there are symptoms such as the engine is stumbling or hesitating, check all wiring and connectors that lead to the cylinders (i.e. spark plugs). Depending on how long the ignition components have been in the car, it may be a good idea to replace them as part of your regular maintenance schedule. I would suggest spark plugs, spark plug wires, distributor cap, and rotor (if applicable). Otherwise, check the coils (a.k.a. coil packs). In some cases, the catalytic converter has gone bad. If you smell rotten eggs in the exhaust, your cat converter needs to be replaced. I've also heard in other cases the problems were faulty fuel injectors.Other ReadingP0300 - Random/Multiple Cylinder Misfire Detected Related P0303 Forum TopicsP0303 on Jeep Liberty98 gmc p0303 codecode p0303 1997 expedition1997 Chevy Tahoe P0303 code - Need Help!1997 Chevy Tahoe P0303 code - Need Help!Toyota tacoma p0303 code2001 Toyota Sienna, codes P1137, P0305, P0303, P0301, P0303P0300 P0302 P0303 1998 Toyota Tacoma Prerunner2003 grand prix, 3100 v6 obd p0303misfire cyl 3 p0303p0303 and code p030099 Buick Regal-P0303 and P0171 codes2001 Nissan Sentra 1.8L P03031996 intrepid: p0303, onboard code 12 and 43. what's wrong??P0303 misfire cylinder 3 detected 1999 GMC SuburbanP0420, P0302, P0303, P0304, P01712001 Windstar P03032003 Honda Civic EX P0300, P0302, P0301, P0303, P030402 AVALANCHE Z71 - P1870, P0303p0300, p0301, p0302, p0303, p0304 and p1128, p03222000 Seville STS P0303, P0300P0303 revisited1996 Grand Prix GTP - codes P0171 & P0303HELP - 2003 Jeep Liberty 3.7L V6 poor idle P0300 P0303 P0305Code P0303

What causes the P0300 P0302 P0303 and P0304 on-board diagnostic codes for a 1997 Toyota Camry?
Engine misfires. P0300 corresponds to misfires that are random among all cylinders, whereas P0301-P0306 correspond to specific cylinders. I'm not an expert, but other posts I have read seem to suggest that because you are getting misfires across more than one cylinder, it's probably something like your ignition coil, distributor, etc. !
