Misfire
So I was driving down the road today and the car began to drive like crap. The car started shaking really bad and the check engine like started flashing. I pulled up the P0300 random misfire code and was able to take it to Advanced Auto Parts. He hooked up the OBDII into the engine and pulled up P1153 and Air Fuel metering. I think the P1153 is a misfire on cylinder 6 but what do you guys think could be causing this. I am thinking it may be the injector or the MAF sensor, but i'm not sure. If anybody knows whats going on please let me know.
Thanks
Elliot

Have u had any work done to the car recently??? Dont think it is the MAF or injector.... Start with the basics. A good doctor doesnt just open your chest up becuase u have a pain.... 
Check to make sure a wire didnt fall off or a spark plug fouled out.. I hope u didnt down shift at a really high rpm and bend a push rod.... It could also be a broken rocker or valve spring.... Now that I have told u, Good Luck....

well if the msfire is isolated to one dead cylinder, or cylinder not friring correctly than we have an issue... what u can try is either switching a coil pack to c if the coil is bad... or remove the valve cover and check to c if something is broken... dont panic yet it is all part of diagnositc

I had this happen a week after I did new plugs and wires. I found that I had failed to tighten the plug in number 3 properly and it had backed out. I tightened it back up and things were fine.
