If its misfiring itll run rough, basically.

It will only flash the MIL if the misfire is severe.

If the misfire is persistant you get a MIL(CEL) and set code/codes between P0300-P304.

Have you kept on the maintenance? Do you use TopTier fuel or an additive like Techron at every oil change?

I've had p0300 for a while, even after changing my fuel filter and plugs. People I talk to seem to think its due to the lean condition that my CAI is giving me.
