Default help with codes

hooked up the z to a fancy snap on code reader cuz of an engine light. it gave me P 0300 code and said its random misfiring.
the car has a TN kit and turbo xs piggy which i thought detects misfires ?

interestingly i do not feel like the car is misfiring not even on cold mornings

how do i diagnose this problem
check the sparks n then coils?


if someone can stir me in the right direction, many thanks.

ps reset the ecu, n the car sounded very different(more growl) when i left the garage ...

NOt sure what your problem is, but I accidentally tried to start my car when it was running ahahahah >_< dumb moment. And my check engine light came on. I got the code checked and it was a random misfire. I reset the code and the light never came back.

It is a very common code that just about all FI'ed z's and g's have come up.Dont worry about it at all unless it is not running right.
