Default Help with P0300

Hi everybody!!! HEEEEELP!
Hello to everyone in this forum.

I need some help with my '05 Mazda 3 Sport Wagon. I replaced the sprk plugs and used Bosch Fusion Iridium plugs.
I changed them last Friday. Today, The car activated the Check engine warning while driving at 67 mph. Funny thing: the car was not rough revving, no peculiar noise, no loss of power; nothing. I got a diagnostics code P0300- random cylinder misfire. WTH? can anyone tell me what's up with that?

Your input will be well appreciated.

It is. and the car is running smoothly, so I don't understand where the code came from. Also I ised the car a while ago and the code has not popped up yet. Any ideas?

random cyl misfires are a pain to daig, there may be nothing wrong at all, but a simple "glitch" may trip the cel for it, there isnt really a way to just pinpoint w/o using mazdas code reader it may even involve a reflash of your ecu.
