Hi.
P0300 is random misfire, and can be caused by a number of problem. First check if there are more codes stored in the PCM.
If you have only P0300, check spark plugs, distributor (depending on year distribution coils) and high voltage wires from distributor to spark plugs. Those are the most common cause for random misfire.
If distribution is OK, check for ignition problems. A too rich or too lean mixture can result in misfire. Often the problem is not reported by the PCM with a lean or rich code based on the O2 sensors' input.
Check fuel system, injectors, filter and sensors in air intake and air intake itself, vacuum system etc.
Check with particular attention the EGR system, that is a common fault resulting in random misfire. Chrysler Sebring built in the second half of the 90s are commonly suffering from EGR problems (there are several Chrysler service bulletins on this).
P0300 is often accompanied by symptoms such as engine running rough or shutting down. There are more faults, apart the ones listed that can result in P0300.

This code is a miss fire code cylinder non specific,you need to check out the ignition components for proper condition and check for vacuum leaks around the intake manifold as this can cause this type of code.you may also have injector problems or even fuel pressure or flow problems
