    During accelerating fairly hard to go around a stalled vehicle, my 2003 started missing/running rough. Scanner showed P300, P303 and P304. What would make 3 and 4 start misfiring all of a sudden like that? Thanks for your help.

    I had the same exact problem one day.

    Im not entirely sure what caused it either. Its like the 2 cylinders decided to cough and die.

    I seafoamed hte engine afterwards, and changed the EGR valve, and it hasnt happened again...

    Check your spark plugs and spark plug wires, make sure they are not broken or nipped. I had this problem with my Camry.

    Check your ignition coil. Same issue I had and that fixed it
