Lightbulb p0300 only code
CEL came on. Went to advanced auto and had them scan it (only place open on Easter) and they are telling me that only this code is coming up. Any idea what this could be?

Googled it,
Misfire code... check coils for splits/cracks and plugs for fouling. Could also be dirty fuel filter.

Turns out the seal for the gas cap was dried out and cracking. Replaced the cap, CEL shut off.

Now, pop the trunk & check for moisture over the coolant cap. make sure that is the latest version.
