I've got a p0300 misfire on a 05 Corvette. I logged it on my drive home and 2,4,6,8 misfired anywhere from 1000-3000 times per cylinder. 1,3,5,7 misfired between 0-100 times. I'm pretty sure the passenger side is the root of the driver side miss because its pulling 15* timing to compensate. So looking for info on what would make 2,4,6,8 go crazy like that.
So far I have swapped coil packs, checked plug gaps, swapped plug wires, unplugged o2 sensors to see if it had any effect. Nothing helped. Car does semi OK at start up and progressively gets worse especially at higher rpms. It holds 60psi fuel pressure at idle and 60psi at 3k.
Ok i started messin with the car a little more tonight and logged some info. I don't even know if the o2 sensors are the problem but I was getting some odd readings.
I swapped the rear 02 sensors before I logged this data to see if it would effect anything.
That was with the car running for 1 minute. After twenty minutes i took readings of the driver side
Total misfires in 20 minutes of idle:
Cyl 1 - 10
Cyl 3 - 0
Cyl 5 - 11
Cyl 7 - 1
I did drop the driver side cat to change the o2 and it looked clean. maybe I should drop the passenger side and see if its stopped up. Also how would the coils get a bad ground, where do they ground?
Didn't get a lot of help but for anyone who runs across this in the future I did get it fixed. The passenger side catalytic converter had come apart and was clogging up the exhaust.

Interesting. How did you figure that out and what caused it? They are warranted under the smog warranty for a long time. It's in the manual.
