The codes mean as follows
PO300 multiple cylinder misfires
PO301 #1 cylinder misfire
PO308 #8 cylinder misfire
Some of the more common causes for these codes popping at once are, if you went through a big
puddle and the engine and wires are wet or the distributor cap and/or wires are bad or the camshaft
sensor(located inside dist cap) is bad and sending false signals. Hope this helps.

P0300 is a generic code telling you that your engine is misfiring. 301, and 308 are cylinder specific. telling you that number one, and number 8 cylinders are misfiring, the cheapest easiest place to start if you haven't is plugs, wires, cap, rotor, etc. just a major tune up thats usually due on a 10 year old vehicle,

SOURCE: i turned the key to my 2001 dodge ram 3500 and it

A code P0500 may mean that one or more of the following has happened:
1.The Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS) is not reading (functioning) properly 2.There is a broken/frayed wire leading to the vehicle speed sensor 3.The vehicle's PCM is not correctly configured for the actual tire size on the vehicle
The simplest thing to do is to reset the code and see if it comes back. Next, check all wiring and connectors that lead to the speed sensor. The location of the sensor depends on your vehicle. The sensor could be on the rear axle, transmission, or perhaps the wheel hub (brake) assembly. If the wiring and connectors are OK, then check the voltage at the speed sensor.
P1693 (M) DTC Detected in PCM/ECM or DTC
Detected in ECM
A 9Companion DTC9 was set in both the ECM and PCM which is related to the above DTC code.

A Large leak is almost never a gas cap, thats usually the small leak. Dodge uses cheap hoses that crack badly. Check the canister in the Engine compartment, passenger side.

IF THIS CODE IS NOBUS THEN I BELIEVE IT IS A COMMUNICATIONS PROBLEM WITH THE COMPUTER. CHECK THE FUSES FIRST. ESPECIALLY THE ONE FOR THE PCM(COMPUTER). ALSO CHECK THE CONNECTIONS ON THE PCM WHICH IS LOCATED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE FIREWALL AND HAS A BAJILLION WIRES COMING FROM IT. IT HAS THREE CONNECTORS THAT ARE HELD IN PLACE BY THREE BOLTS ON THE BACK OF THE COMPUTER. HOPE THIS HELPS YOU. PLEASE LET ME KNOW. GOOD LUCK
