DTC P0300 Random Multiple Cylinder Misfire Detected Just had a print out of codes i have and there are a bunch, but this is the one that has me worried a bit. I am at college with little tools and parked in a small parking spot outside, with no jack besides the one in the trunk. How would you guys go about fixing this problem. I was gonna start with plugs and wires but how can i do this where im at. In a garage, no prob, but outside with little room to work and low amounts of tools. Should I take it somewhere? I don't want to because it'll cost a fortune but do i have a choice. What if it's the opti? I don't exactly feel comfortable tearing into my car when i might not have the proper tools. Sorry for the rambling, Im just mad, 4 codes.
The moral of the story is, dont dismiss an oxygen sensor code and keep driving. A month later and you'll never notice that there other other codes with that SES light too.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

at night time check under the hood on idle if you see and purple/gold flash. itll tell you if youre arching and your wires are bad.
with limited tools, a plug change will still be easy until you get to the pass side, and #7 on the drivers side. if you have skinny forearms like me, then itll be easy from the top.
