What did the plugs you removed look like? Any indications of a funky cylinder that could help you isolate the problem?

You can inspect the injector connectors and harness to make sure it's not grounding out anywhere. Chances of a bad coil are possible, but a very rare possibility. Verify the correct fuel pressure at the rail. You can inspect the wiring to the crankshaft sensor, but I would expect a crankshaft sensor code if it was bad......always worth a look to be thorough, especially because you have headers.

A look at the G107 (attached to and behind the drivers side head). It provides grounds for both coil packs.

I also would not dismiss the possibility of a broken valve spring.

Since you have fresh plugs, you might pull them again to see if there is anything obvious in their appearance.

You can't go by looks on injectors-take them out and have them flow tested and cleaned. I use www.cruzinperformance.com to do mine. He flow tests them before, clenas them and flow tests them again.

I have a pulse checker too but that won't tell you if it's partially clogged.

OK, assuming that you have insured that the new plug wires and coil pack have been properly installed and are working properly, a flashing MIL light might indicate a catalyst Misfire has occurred. Were there any other DTC set?

These items may be visually/physically inspected:
Vacuum hoses, throttle body, intake manifold vacuum leaks
PCM grounds being clean and secure
Injector harness connectors are connected to proper injector
Inspect injector fuese for open fuse
Low pressure ( you checked this) or restricted fuel (filter)

Really sounds like a bad plug or plug wire (even though they are new). What made you change the plugs and coil pack? Was the car running good prior to the changes?

Well, the other big reason people have been seeing P0300's is broken valve springs.
