SOURCE: code p0300 and p1406
P0300 is misfire and p1406 is EGR. It sounds like you have a chunk of carbon stuck in the EGR valve. Remove the valve and clean the carbon from the valve, bottom side. Then install a screened gasket so it won't happen again.

code po300 is a random misfire code do a tune up plugs, wires etc and clear the code it should be fine
SOURCE: engine check light p0300
P0300 is a "random/ multiple cylinder misfire detected" and can happen if you change plug wires and cross two when re-installing them (which I did on my 99 Jimmy just 2 weeks ago), or it could mean one of the coilpack coils is failing, etc..
SOURCE: On my 2005 Tahoe how do I reset the check engine light?
the check engine light is indicating a problem with a control system. The resulting codes need to be fixed, then the light will be reset or go out by itself. If the problem resolves itself, or is intermittent, the light may go out by itself

Basically this means that the the car's computer has
detected that not all
of the engine's cylinders are firing properly.
A P0300 diagnostic code indicates a random or multiple misfire. If
the last digit
is a number other than zero, it corresponds to the cylinder number
that is misfiring.
A P0302 code, for example, would tell you cylinder number two is
misfiring.
Unfortunately, a P0300 doesn't tell you specifically which cylinder(s)
is/are
mis-firing, nor why.
Symptoms may include:
A code P0300 may mean that one or more of the following has happened:
Possible Solutions
If there are no symptoms, the simplest thing to do is to reset the
code and
see if it comes back.
If there are symptoms such as the engine is stumbling or hesitating,
check
all wiring and connectors that lead to the cylinders (i.e. spark
plugs). Depending
on how long the ignition components have been in the car, it may be a
good
idea to replace them as part of your regular maintenance schedule. I
would
suggest spark plugs, spark plug wires, distributor cap, and
rotor (if applicable).
Otherwise, check the coils (a.k.a. coil packs). In some cases, the
catalytic
converter has gone bad. If you smell rotten eggs in the exhaust, your
cat converter
needs to be replaced. I've also heard in other cases the problems were
faulty
fuel injectors.
Random misfires that jump around from one cylinder to another (read:
P030x
codes) also will set a P0300 code. The underlying cause is often
a lean fuel
condition,
which may be due to a vacuum leak in the intake manifold or unmetered
air getting
past the airflow sensor, or an EGR valve that is stuck open.
