A misfire code is either plugs or injectors but if you are getting detonation (pinging sound ) then it may be faulty injectors letting in fuel ( incorrect amount of fuel) and at the wrong time . Detonation occurs from incorrect air/ fuel ratio and ignition timing and is spontaneous unplanned combustion . It occurs as the piston starts to compress the mixture and the fire occurs before the piston is near the top of the strake and so the piston is slapped hard against the cylinder wall. If left unattended it has the capability of melting holes in the top of the pistons

GMC Sierra Code P0300 Check engine light

GMC Sierra with the code P0300 Q: I have the 2003 GMC Sierra with the code P0300. What could be the problem? A: The code P0300 means "Random Cylinder Misfire". This means that the engine computer has detected that one or more of the cylinders misfire randomly. This code could take some time to diagnose, as there could be a wide range of reasons for the engine cylinders to misfire. Here are just a few examples: bad spark plugs, ignition wires, distributor cap/rotor, bad fuel injectors, bad airflow sensor, broken or weak valve spring, leaking valve, low fuel pressure, manifold gasket leak, clogged catalytic converter, etc. Take your truck to a knowledgeable mechanic and have it check out - driving with the misfiring engine can damage your catalytic converter.
The mechanic can scan the engine computer with the scan tool and see the conditions when the misfire happens and check which cylinders are misfiring. A number of of other things will need to be checked to find the cause (e.g vacuum leaks, exhaust back-pressure, compression, etc.).

Check engine light is on and car is shaking and jerking on 2005 gmc envoy

You will need to have it scanned to get the code, sounds like an engine misfire. Most large chain autoparts stores will scan the computer for free and tell you the code

2004 gmc yukon rattling and pinging under hood and inside. Loud inside and sounds like it's fluid moving with the rattle. Not wet inside of the truck.

These engines don't rattle and especially ping unless they are hot. And the sound of fluid thru the heater core. Tells me you are low on coolant. The engine is not cheap to replace.
