P0303 p0325 problem car shaking

Last week, my car starts rattle at idle, with the CEL on. And it starts to flash some times. I read the code and got P0303 and P0325. I then replaced all four spark plug with "Bosch Platinum+4 Spark Plug" and erase the code. Then the idle shaking was gone. However, when I try to accelerate to 30~40 mph, it starts to rattle again and failed to accelerate. The CEL come up immediately with the same codes. I then replaced the four spark plug wires with "Xact Spark Plug Wire Set". Now no lights comes up and no rattles. However, after running some time, the temperature gauge increases. Anyone knows what's the problem? Is it the spark plug? I know the gap should be 0.44. However, the spark plug (0.6) I got says no gapping needed.

Don't use the Bosch + 4 Get them out of there & use any brand you want, but the original tip configuration that came from the factory

Those & many other highly advertised plugs don't work with today's
ignition systems & cause problems

You have to gap your plugs to what it says under the hood on a white label,I know they say don't gap but if the application is
different you have too,common sense,gap has to match your vehicle specs

Your best to get repair shop help
You need a scanner on it & road test & look
at all data to find out what you have or what
needs attention.

SOURCE: codes p0171 p0303 p0325 car missing

p0171 = fuel system too lean, this means vacuum leak or faulty oxygen sensor

p0303 = cylinder 3 misfire

p0325 = knock sensor malfunction.

p0303 and p0325 - i can see these working together, if a cylinder misfires, it will cause the knock sensor to trip. I would lean towards the coil and or ignition module, along with a faulty oxygen sensor.

Okay I'll try this again I have the 2008 audi a4 sline 2.0 t fsi 6 speed manual quattro. the engine sounds loud as if two weeks ago. like sticking a potato in the exhaust pipe. or its seeing heavy load. at...

Check the High pressure fuel pump tappet by removing the high pressure fuel pump and pulling out the tappet/cam follower these have a tendency to wear out prematurely also where that tappet rides on the cam it wear out the cam lobe as well. the 2.0T has been there worst engine to date (in my humble opinion) unfortunately.

My Toyota Avalon 02 is experiencing problems with check engine light flashing when idling at a light and then goes solid when driving. The codes read p0300 Thru p0303. The car idles very rough and shakes...

code p 300 is random misfires
code p 0301,-2,-3,-4,-5,-6,-7,-8 all refer to the cylinder that is misfiring ie p 0303 is no 3cyl misfiring
many people mistakenly believe that a misfire is from the plug, wires distributor when in fact it is more likely to be a problem injector ---dirty tip , low fuel; pressure , blocked tip, injector wiring
using gas conditioner sometimes works but in many cases it dislodges gunk that blocks the tip
At this point I would get a fuel pressure test done to check the pressure regulator , pump and filter condition as everything you describe points to fuel and injectors
AS a point of interest- with ECM controlled engines, the ECM tunes up the engine 60 times a minute to keep it within parameters and the plugs will last the life of the engine
when you want to do a tune up , simply have the fault codes read and fix only what comes up
