Did you ever find the issue? I've had Hot Rods in for about a year... couple weeks ago started tossing P0300.. went ahead and changed plugs (94000 miles)... Just tossed the code again. Engine runs fine.

From searches, could be anything

This would be my advice. These engines have random misfires all the time that don't throw a code, so it could be nothing. I've never gotten a misfire code before, but I know I had a misfire before.
