I have a 2003 sonoma, I changed the plugs, wires, rotor, and distributer cap and now it runs rough and is throwing a PO300 code. The cap only goes on one way. Any ideas??:screwy:

P0300 is almost ALWAYS caused by a fault in secondary ignition parts, (plugs, wires, cap & rotor).
Are you sure the cap is wired correctly?

The 4.3 can be very fussy when it comes to ignition parts. AC Delco plugs #41-993 and AC Delco cap, rotor and wires will assure proper performance.
Low fuel pressure and or excessive leakdown can cause P0300 also. Have you checked fuel pressure and leakdown?
