misfire
I am at a loss to isolate where my problem on this 5.3L engine.
I have an intermittent misfire occuring at idle that is not isolated to one cylinder. In fact there is no pattern that I can detect. We have checked the obvious, Plugs, Leads, spark, fuel injectors, O2 Sensors, compression ie everything you would normaly look at.
Need some help to point me in another direction. (Please)

Mine feels like it stumbles at an idle also, it could definetely be a misfire, but i haven't checked with autotap or anything yet, kinda makes me wonder, ecspecially since the friggin truck only has 9000 miles on it. I checked the mass air wires for K&N oil, none, was gonna wait and take it to the stealership just to pester them, since my interior pass. doors are squeaking still, after i had them look at it once already, and the said it was the dash surround piece squeaking because i put an aftermarket radio in it.............B.S.

i had a problem similar to this. ended up being bad plugs and wires. but here are some other possibilities:
fuel filter
IAC valve
leak in intake tube (around MAF or TB)
ignition coil bad
fuel injector clogged

I got that code as well. p0300. I talked to my tuner and he mention that some PCM's are sensitive to that code. I sent it back to him and he took care of it. I, as well, did not feel anything wrong with the truck, hell it has 11,000 miles on it.

By the way, to any and all interested. My intermittent misfire was being caused by a bad catalitic converter. No codes were being thrown and my truck has not got alot of miles on it so a mechanic would not usually look in that direction.
