Question Car misfire P0300 - Solved

I have a problem with my Pontiac Trans AM 1999, LS1.

The car misfire on 3 cylinders, (4,5,6 I think it was) and sets code P0300 (Random misfire).
It goes well when I press the gas-throttle very slowly up to 5000 RPM, and slowly let it off.
But if I quickly press the gas-throttle only up to 2000 RPM, the car start to shake and misfire.
It start to flood the engine with to much fuel.

I have change or tried different on this things:

Sparking Plugs
Wires
Coil Packs
Crankshaft position sensor
MAF
MAP
Fuel Filter
PCM
O2 sensors, all 4
Injector cleaner in the fuel
Fuel pressure 55psi
Fuses Checked

This things I did before, but I doubt it can have anything to do with it.
1. Changed oil, oil-filter, coolant fluid, and PCV-valve.
2. The pipe/house that holds the PCV-valve was clogged with gummy from the pipe/house, it had worn out and “melt” down on some way. Maybe the engine sucked in some particle that was left in the pipe when I replaced the valve(?)
3. Changed some wires to the right-front-turn light, and shorten the wires. After that the right font turn light will not flash. Something with the BCM must have happened. All fuses are ok.


Please help!

I had that problem once and it was a bad wire to my 02, I even had it once when I had a hole in the exhaust cause my a/f bung fell out on the road somewhere, It was just like you were saying, Shaking all over the place


Look for frayed 02 wires/exhaust leaks

Looks like you changed the obvious spark plugs/wires etc.

You change the fuel filter lately?

a/f bung? Where is that located? On the exhust.. ? Is that the same as the O2'sensors?

New fuel filter...


Can the IAT-sensor have something to do with the misfire?
