Default po300..please help me

So here is my deal....i am throwing this code and like everyone else (yes i did a search) the car stumbles and shakes from 2K to 3K. so far i have
replaced a entire mass air flow sensor
replaced fuel filter
checked for vacum leaks

I solved the problem by changing #8 plug which still looked like original one and had almost no core left. It would still fire so it was not a more specific p0308 code. yes it's the back pass side one that you crall onto the top of the engine to replace after you swing aside the coil rail. I was even getting the rotten egg smell from the cats due to the misfire. and this fixed it before I ruined the cat.

My problem was the fuse box under the hood, im not sure which fuse my friend replaced, but he installed a new fuse & problem went away, the fuse gives power to the coils, & I had misfire #3 & after all checking the basics plugs wires...etc it was only a dam blown fuse

Soon as you open the hood on your driverside there 2 fuse boxes, one of the boxes gives power to the coils check to see if any are blown, I dnt have a picture of the fuse box

Funny, never thought to check this. If THIS fuse is blown, does it throw a DTC? Or a specific P0 Code? My problem is a misfire w/o a DTC! Weird!
