Default Does Anyone have CEL on b/c of misfire?? P300

Anyone here had the problem of the 350Z having a multiple cylinder misfire? That is what mine is doing and the car idles erratic. Other than the MIL for the multiple cylinder misfire and the bad idle the car runs fine. Let me know if anyone else has had this problem. The dealer sucks and cannot find the problem.

i had a miss fire code. not sure if it was the same one, but i was at a race track doing some 1/4 miles and I kept turning the car on and off, due to the line and moving forward. as soon as i got to the line. the SES light came on. and it stated the "miss fire in multiple cylinders." It could have been 3 issues for me.

1. could have been from the line and turning the car on and off.
2. I installed an AAM or AMM (cant remember the exact abbreviation) throttle body spacer that has 3 vacuum spots. well 2 of my plug came out. i didn't know. I would notice that at idle, the tact would fluctuate really bad. sometimes it would even stall.
3. a combination of both.

i cleared the code, fixed the problem and never had it again.

hope that helps a little
