Check the input might be computer related on some caravans the coil pack is devided in section and the wire har?ess has a switch effect. The computer could be sending wrong signal.
What does the coil pack look like does the wires come straight up or do they go to side also what does the connection look like how many wires is it square or long

I have a 05 town and country I have put new plugs ,wires,cool pack and fuel pump and I always had a miss then yesterday it started missing so bad u couldn't drive it it is code p2302 and codep2308

Codes translate as.....
P2302 = Ignition Coil "A" Secondary Circuit.
P2308 = Ignition Coil "C" Secondary Circuit.
You have a problem somewhere in the ignition system. 'Cool pack'? Did you mean coil pack?
It would be worth getting a good mechanic to test the fuel injectors as these can sometimes cause this problem.
Your only other option is to get a specialist to test the PCM (The Car's Brain).

I have a 2005 Grand caravan 3.3 with 236.000 miles it came up with a code P2308 ignition coil C secondary circuit ? No spark to cylinder 6 & 3 ?

No cylinders fire at same time. 6 & 3 must be from same coil-ignition coil C-that is the one with the problem. And the secondary circuit- that is the spark firing portion of the coil. Coils have a primary winding circuit and a secondary wire winding circuit. The secondary comes out of coil as the tower, or the spark plug wire tower -the business end of the coil leading to the plug.

You could have a bad new coil (happens occasionally) or the connection to that coil may be the problem-the connection where the coil snaps onto the coil pack assembly. Try swapping that coil (coil C) with another one there and see if problem follows the coil. See? Keep your plug wires the same, just swap coils with another and see if the new position for suspect coil causes other cylinders to misfire. If a different coil in that "C" position causes same code, then it is not the coil itself, but probably the base assembly that the coil connects to.

These ignition systems use what is called a waste spark, or exhaust waste spark system. The coil will send spark to 6 & 3 simultaneously, but since one is always on the exhaust stroke while the other is on the compression (firing) stroke, the exhaust spark is very weak, and all the energy from coil is directed to the compression stroke cylinder. It sounds crazy but it works great.

Since you say it runs bad just as before, that indicates the coil is not the problem, but something wrong with the base of the coil pack . This is where the wiring is directed to the coils.

2004 caravan 3.3 OBD code P2308 ignition coil "C" secondary circuit ? No spark to cylinder 6 & 3 ? plugs & wires good & new coil pack ??

This code could also mean the transistor inside the engine computer is fried . New PCM/ECM needed .

P2308 Dodge Description The current flow, or dwell, through the primary ignition coil is controlled by the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) by providing a switched ground path through the ignition coil driver to ground. When the ignition coil driver is switched on, current rapidly builds up to a maximum value, determined by the coil inductance and resistance. When the current is switched off, the magnetic field collapses which induces a secondary high voltage surge and the spark plug is fired. This high voltage surge creates a flyback voltage which the PCM uses as a feedback during the ignition diagnostics. The PCM continuously monitors the ignition system for concerns. The P2308 code sets when the PCM detects a short to voltage in the circuit.

03 chevy trailblazer, hooked up a code scanner and shows multiple random misfires doesn't give specific cylinder. p0300 code. I changed the spark plugs. no help.

Pull the coil plugs when running. One at a time. If the engine gets worse the coil is good. No difference. Most likely the coil is bad. To check it again, swap it with another. Pull the plug on the suspected bad one. If it gets worse, look to wiring at the one that was no deference. Check for power to the plug.
