Evaporator is part of the fuel system, missfiring could be spark plug or bad coil

Lets start at the beginning. Did anyone check fuel pressure before and after replacing the pump ?
Has anyone checked the fuel pressure regulator and the injector spider ? The 4.3w engine uses a spider with one injector that supplies all 6 cylinders. And it runs at 65psi or more.

My 2004 Envoy XUV 6 cylinder is misfiring with a flashing Service engine soon light immediately after the AC Compressor was replaced

Rob, when the battery is disconnected for any reason a couple of things happen, and frankly it's a design error on the GMT360 platform (Envoy/Trailblazer). Your mechanic did not make an error here. Issue #2, your vent actuators blew out when the battery was re-connected back up, it happens, it's common. Issue # 1 is a little more complicated. The flashing light means misfire, is a seperate issue and a coincidence. Pull the codes out with a scanner and report back, may be bad coil pack, happens and is common. Idle problem and starting to die is an easy fix, betting it only happens when the AC or defrost is on. Disconnect fuse #10 and #28 under the hood. Remove the throttle body and clean it with a sensor safe spray like Seafoam. Drive it around for the computer to relearn the newly cleaned throttle body. Idle problem will be fixed.

I have a 2007 Chrysler Sebring with a 2.4 engine. The check engine light came on and the car runs rough. Had the code checked and it came back with a 303, 302 and 300 codes. What is the most common...

Hello Frybird.

The codes you have are engine misfires.
Code 300 is random misfire (could be any cylinder).
Code 302 is cylinder #2 misfire and 303 cylinder 3 misfire.

Most common causes are ignition issues.
Spark plugs, ignition wires/boots and ignition coils.

Next would be fuel issues such as fuel injectors.
Next would be emission components such as EGR valves.
Then in a worst case condition would be engine wear parts (valves, camshafts etc.)

The place to begin is ignition as this is a common failure on most cars.
