P0303 Misfire Detected - Cylinders 1-10.

Have you inspected your plugs? Check your plug wires make sure none or touching ground or the O2 sensor wire. Check for vac leaks. That can cause error codes like that.

Get a can of carb cleaner and spray the vac lines while the engine is running. If the RPM changes you found a vac leak.
