I have a 1998 Dodge 1500 with the 5.2 y code engine scanned with diagnostic computer it came up with following codes p0300 random-muliple cylinder misfire detected p0302 cylinder 2 misfire detected p0303 cylinder 3 misfire detected will it take more than a tune-up to correct this problem?
After you do the above go here and check the wiring. It fixed my problem.
Dodge 1995-1999 V8 sparkplug wiring.

Quick easy cheap fix is replace the plugs, wires, Cap, and rotor. (change one wire at a time makes it a ton easier) its cheap and should be done every 5 years anyways. if you have changed the plugs, wire etc in the last five years check the injectors (they should spray in a fine mist pull one injector and let it spray into a clear jar, do one at a time) when an injector is blocked the fuel will not vaprizes properly. also on your fuel rack you can check the pressure as mentioned above however the fuel pressure will generally cause all cylinders to act poorly. PS. not to scare you but it very likely could be a blown head gasket or crack in the head its self when changing the plugs be sure to inspect the plug tips if there white it could be your problem. (coolant in the exauhst will blow white smoke) However seeing as it is 2 cylinders beside each other this very well could be your problem it is very time consuming and costly to replace a head gasket so hopefully it isn't
Change the plugs and check the plug wires with an ohmmeter. Wires should have 3000-4000-6000 ohms depending on length. If no ohms then the wire is no good. PS Check the plug insulator for carbon tracking. This is an indication of moisture between the plug and the wire boot. The wire may check out but if there is tracking then you will get a missfire.
I'd start with a fuel pressure test.
