My first Codes - This sucks.
So, I was driving home last night and the check engine light comes on. The car is running great, so I just don't get it. It was filled, as usual, with Sunoco 94 octane. I checked the OBD and it threw a P0304 code. I restarted the car and the light went away. Then I stopped and 5 Minutes later started it to leave again and the light was back on, this time a p0300 and a p0304. Still running great! Drove it home and tried again this morning - light still on and codes still there. Filled her up on Exxon 93 today and the light shut off when I restarted it. The codes haven't been cleared yet so they are still there but I drove it 30 miles and no engine light.
Should I worry? I have MSD superconducter wires and stock plugs - 7200 miles on the car. Have had some sort of intermittent vaccuum problem with the Brakes(I think that's what it is - Dodge still hasn't done anything 'bout the brakes(another story that is pissing me off)). Short ram intake, Mopar BOV, motor mounts, stb, catch cans at both locations, and that's about it.
Any suggestions?
Bad gas? Injector?... Wouldn't have posted this but all the threads I see have some sort of noticable misfire with the code. Mine - purrs like a kitten as far as I can feel/hear.
Thank you all.

Take it in bro. It's a bad injector and could cause more damage if not replaced. I have mods listed too and they didn't say anything. They just replaced it free of charge and the car ran so much stronger after that. I notice that my car ran fine too but trust me you will feel the difference.

It also could very well be bad gas.. especially if you now changed brands and octane levels and the light is gone. I would give it another day or 2 to see if it comes back on. If it does come back on between now and then I would stop driving it asap and take it right in as soon as I could because like he just said its probrably a bad injector like he had.... Good luck
