help with OTT stage 2

Hey guys I need some help! I just installed my ottp2 kit last week, and now I'm having some issues.. Two cels are on P0300 and P0054... What should I check for or look for as the 0300 seems to be a misfire but idk what or how to check? Any advice would be awesome.

if your car is throwing the P0300 code then something ISN'T RIGHT...

It's NOT because of the injectors...and if it is...its because you have a BAD injector...

its random cylinder misfire at idle. not a constant misfire. its really no big deal. LSJ's do have a lot of random misfires. as long as the car is not breaking up, or constant misfiring at idle i wouldnt worry about it.

guys really its no big deal. calm down

ha gapping them is not hard. you can pick up a gapper at autozone for a dollar. just looks like a quarter that gets thicker around the edge. really easy to do (this coming from someone who is not mechanically inclined)
