Car running extremely rough at low speed. Check Engine Light on. No specific code specified. Car seems to down shift without acceleration or deacceleration. All fluids checked and normal or filled. Acts like it has lost one of 4 cylinders.

SOURCE: low compression in #1and #2 cylinders 1993 eclipse gs 1.8l

burned valve is likely the culprit.... or bad rings.... hook air up to that cyclinder one at a time.... and listen where the air is escaping... be aware that the motor will rotate till the piston is at the bottom of it's rotation. if it's a burned valve you will have to remove the head and replace it but somewhat easier job then replacing the rings. darn almost forgot.... it can also be a blown head gasket.... same procedure but you might need a brush and some soap water to test for an air leak at the side of the head. when you are done spray some wd 40 on it to get the water off so the spark plugs do not arc.

SOURCE: seems transmission gear shift problem

Pull the distick and smell the oil. If it's discoloured (black or dark brown) you know the transmission friction plates are burnt and needs a rebuilt.

SOURCE: Check Engine Service light on

Without knowing anymore about your driving habits or how long it's been since a fill up, the first thing that comes to mind would be the gas cap. It sounds like you (or whomever filled you up) may not have locked the gas cap properly. This will cause a difference in pressure and will essentially throw a code.

Exceedingly high idle at engine start up

There might be a vacuum leak, check leaks on the inlet manifold and other areas after the MAS.

Car has slow acceleration at low speeds and sputters, in addition the check engine light is on but only gives the code 0300. Suspect the o2 sensor but with only the code 0300 does not specify anything...

I would check spark plugs and wires. I have had similar problems from a mis-gapped or lose spark plug or wire. most misses are more noticeable at low speeds

Expedition running rough on acceleration, it's a 5.4L.

running rough means it is misfiring.does it run smoothly without load or at idle?If it does then better check you fuel pressure as the engine needs more fuel under load.
