Misfire can be a lot of things I'll start wit the easiest, Check the plug wire for arch, check the

Distributor cap for a crack.

Check the fuel injector for proper operation, check for spark and if these are ok then pull the plugs and run a compression test on the engine, no cylinder should be a lower reading than 5% of the highest cylinder pressure reading you have.

2007 Chevy Cobalt LT Sedan P0304 Misfire

I would say you have more that one code fault and they just used a cheap scan tool. You need an auto electrician with a pro grade scan tool computer. That is the only thing that can diagnose the engine speed sensor.

https://www.google.com/search?q=auto+electrician+near+me

What the P0304 code means. The P0304 code will be seen in cars where the ECU has detected that cylinder 4 is not firing properly. The ECU monitors the operation of all cylinders to ensure they are all firing on time, so when one misfires repeatedly, a Check Engine Light is set.

I stepped on the gas the car took off then immediatley slowed in power. The engine light came on and started blinking. I could drive the car, but only at slow speed. 2007 Mercury Milan V6. Any ideas

when the check engine light blinks this is a sign of misfires but your going to need a scanner to determine which cylinders misfired and clear fault memory i would then recommend swapping coils and plugs from cylinders that misfired with ones that didnt and see if misfires migrate to determine bad coils or plugs

My 2005 Cadillac SRX has developed a rattling noise underneath and is now "missing" when it drives. Check engine light just came on but it is due for an oil change.

Check Lights are OBD2 System Malfunctions,
that have been with us for 30 years,nothing to
do with oil.

You most likely have cylinder misfires, that need
to be diagnosed,or one of ten other possibles
