    misfiring at idle

    My problem is that its misfiring at idle and anytime i let off the gas and am slowing down its misfiring. Anything above 2K RPM's and it run's just fine with no missfires at all. Could it be a oiled up MAF sensor?? Bad 02 Sensor?? I am sorta stuck if some1 can take a look at the attachments and give me some ideas of possible solutions i would appreciate it!

    Can you feel the misfire or are you just throwing the p0300 code and seeing it on your interceptor?

    I have heard of a clutch causing this code to go but its not really a mis-fire. The way the car detects a missfire is by the Crank sensor and trhe cam sensor going out of sync. This is why poeple see it on decel because the cams are chain driver and I think under heavy decel they may be pulling on the slack in the chain. As long as you dont get misfire under on power conditions its no biggie. I dont even see whats to misfire under decel because the DFCO cuts fuel. So there is nothing to fire anyways! Maybe its is dectecting the start of DFCO as a misfire who knows crazier things have happened.
