First the DTC P0304 is a misfire on number 4 cylinder which would be a sparkplug,plug wire,coil or a fuel injector and sense you've replaced three out of the four I would think you have a clogged or faulty injector.As for the DTC P0300 that is a random misfire detected which could co-inside with the bad injector.If it were me I would replace the injector and go from there and see if that fixes the problem.

SOURCE: Rough idle code P0300

check the fuel pressure when u get a po300 code that means there has been a missfire. if your fuel pressure is low it will cause missfires.

SOURCE: I need to find the fuel filter on a 2004 saturn

Check your plugs, check the ign module, test the injectors,take a fuel sample and make sure there isnt water in your fuel, if all these test good perform a compression test. if the compression test fails replace the head. if the compression test is good. check the timing

I know the post is old but this is for the people who have the same problem like me and still search the web for a solution. P0300 random misfire code, rough idle after it warms up and then exhaust smells like eggs. Check the plugs 5 and 6 should have black carbon (rich fuel) plugs 1 to 4 look good. The problem was for me the Fuel Pressure Regulator. You will have to remove the air plenum to get to the fuel injector spider. Not difficult just follow a repair manual. You should notice the intake under neat will have a blackened appearance for intakes 1 to 4 and 5 and 6 will look clean. The regulator is venting the fuel and it is running down into 5 and 6 hence the fouled spark plugs. The regulator is on the back of the spider and easy to replace the biggest problem I had was getting to the fuel lines to disconnect them. Runs great now.

Engine runs rough,misfires& lacks power. transmission shift real slow & jeck in when driving, also idle rough

DO A LITTLE TUNE UP.REPLACE AIR FILTER - FUEL FILTER- CLEAN FUEL INJECTORS BY POURING A BOTTLE OF SEAFOAM IN A FULL TANK OF GAS - REPLACE SPARK PLUGS AND WIRES.IF ALL IS GOOD SOUND LIKE FUEL PUMP FUEL PRESSURE SHOULD BE 41 - 47 PSI. REASON I SAY DO A TUNE UP.IF EVERY THING IS WORKING PROPERLY. THAT WAY YOU WONT BUY A NEW PUMP FIRST AND SPEND EXTRA MONEY.ALL YOU NEED IS A TUNE UP WHICH WOULD BE CHEAPER ON FIRST CHOICE. WHEN I TROUBLE SHOOT I ALWAYS TUNE ENGINE UP FIRST THEN I CAN GO TO NEXT LEVEL.I TROUBLE SHOOT IN STAGES THEN I FIND PROBLEM QUICKER.

02 Chevy Avalanche Off idle engine runs rough then smooths out

The clamp bolt in the center of the steering column put a small cut in the #5 ignition wire and sent the code to the computer for multiple ignition failures(I forget exactly the terminology that they used and what code; I think it was 0300). The arching must have told the computer to richen up the mixture because you could smell raw fuel. I replaced the wires and ran a can of Seafoam through one of the vacuum lines(brake booster) and all seems well. If I had listened to everything I read at other websites I would have been replacing the Cats and the Ignition Coils-very expensive items. Instead it cost me $50 for a set of wires.
