Help with trouble code
I just arrived at work after a 25 minute trip and all was fine . As I was parking the car started to idle rough and the check engine light came on. I pulled codes and the only current code was PCM P0300. Detected engine misfire. Any insight as to what I should start checking? I cleared the code and restarted and it seems fine now, but I don't want to get stuck on my way home.
Thanks guys & gals

A place to start.....pull into a dark garage (night) lift hood and start engine. Look for a light show (spark gap from plugs or plug wires and anywhere else). Start with the easy things first. Get back to us.

Thanks guys. I was just coming in to update. It was in deed a loose plug wire. Kinda corroded as well. I'm going to replace all of the wired when I get home. Any suggestions on where to buy or brand to buy? Also should I go ahead and replace the plugs as well? The car has about 79,000 miles and I'm not the original owner.
