Fault code P0300. Random misfire detected. Never had this problem. 95,000 miles. need some help.
3800 V6 engine, coil packs need replacing, most likely. Change the spark plugs and wires first to see if it goes away.

Don’t replace the coil packs.
If there were a bad coil pack it would cause a major misfire code.
Just replace the plugs and wires.

Before you replace plugs and coil packs, Check for a cracked plug wire. Maybe rubbing on something causing an intermittent arc.
Spray some water on the ignition while the motor is running. That should show you where the fault is.
Mustangman , I agree.
