Misfire sensitivity is a bitch on the C5, the cam plays a big role in idle quality and that in turn can be the catalyst for the PO300. A competent PCM guru can take care of your problems in that department....often, on smaller cams, an idle adjustment will take care of the issue. That doesn't work in 100% of the cases though.

For what it is worth, I set that code when I had a bad connection with one of my sparkplug wires. Cleaned it up and I have not set it since.

That's an easy enough thing to check....thanks I will check the wires out. :)
Yep, had the same thing with a loose plug wire. It's cheap insurance...Change the plugs and the wires
