Could be a bad cam or crank sensor. But before you go to electronics, ck the plugs, wires & coil or coils (whichever coil system you have) Start with the plugs

Well the misfire in Cylinder 3 will commonly be that your plug has gone bad. If that is the only code that it is throwing out then it could be an array of things going on. It sounds though that you may have a throttle position sensor out or that you have your idle speed set too low. You will still have great response when gas is applied but sitting at lights the idle will be rough and sometimes bounce up and down.

I have a 3 cylinder Nissan March 2011 misfiring at idle ,change plug coilpack and get the same result

3 cylinder engines do run rough at idle because there's no cylinder to offset the odd cylinder, but if you're sure it's a miss unplug one injector at a time. A good cylinder will make the engine die or run really rough while a bad cylinder won't make any difference.

I have a 99 ford f150. Sometimes it runs perfect, then out of no where when I try to accelerate it vibrates bad and becomea hesitant. When I came to a stop I switched threw all gears and it seems like it...

This sounds like you might have a bad plug wire or something else in the ignition system is arcing to ground. A quick way to verify this is to run the truck in Park at idle. Next, spray the ignition wires with Windex. You'll notice the truck starting to rough up and might even see the bad wire arcing to ground. A complete tuneup would be recommended in this case.
I hope this helps! :)

2007 cadillac cts engine cylinder misfire

Error code p0300 indicates rough idle and p0305 indicates engine misfire in cylinder 5. Check for faulty spark plug and its wiring. Also check for ignition coil and distributor. Replacing spark plug and its wiring may resolve the issue.
