Happens Again.....

[Elio195HOI]

While cruising thru the intercoastal waterways for a few hours yesterday. The engine starting acting funny (Revving up and vibrating)on the way back in. The check engine light started flashing. I get code P0300 and po301. Checked the spark plugs, they look fine. I need to dig deeper later this week.

Could u have picked up some trash in the intake?

Sounds like you have or had something stuck in the intake grate like @bronze_10 said. Check it, and make sure you flush the engine good.

Would something caught in th in stake grate cause the engine to throw a code? What error is that code for?

There was seaweed which I did jump in and remove. Didn't know that would cause an engine misfire code....

Im almost positive that was it. You should be good to go.

My guess is that you accumulated a small amount of water (condensation) in the intake plenum while cruising & upon acceleration it created misfire on Cyl#1 P0301.
It normally last about 20 seconds & clear out, you should be good to go.
That's not an uncommon behavior for a charged/intercooled powerpack, just research Ford EcoBoost acceleration misfire issue.
