Default check engine light

my check engine light came on the other day so i hooked up the scanner and it said p0304 P0307 and P0300 which are misfires on the cylinders. what in the world is the problem i recently changed spark plugs and the coil packs a month ago so what could be causing it to misfire

try a different (preferably brand name) gas, the station you got it from last time could have had some bad gas, or you could have dirty fuel injectors, you can run seafoam through the tank to help with that

Maybe go to champions and gap them at .04 inches to diagnose the problem? HTH.

Change the spark plugs to Champion Copper Plugs gapped at .040 then go from there as Dan stated.
