random misfire code wtf? P0300 I had my car to the dealer today because of I've been setting random misfire codes. 150 misfires in #5 cyl. and 147 misfires in #8 cyl. They told me that my plugs and wires are fine and they don't have a clue how to fix it until someone from GM discusses it with them. Do you think that there is a problem with the coil packs. Any suggestions please.

I don't want to remove the random misfires from my tuning because my car is running like **** right now. You can definately hear when it is misfiring and also feel it. It is breaking up at 4700-5800 at wot in 3rd and 4th gear.

Well I went and changed my plugs to NGK tr55's and put on Taylor Thundervolt 10.4 wires and got rid of my random misfire code P0300 but now I am setting P0308 so does this mean that I only have a problem with #8 cylinder. My car is still breaking up at wot above 4700rpm in 3rd and 4th gear. I am going to swap the coil packs around to see if anything changes. Is there anything else I should do or look for. I don't think that I have a bent pushrod because the motor sounds quiet to me.
