Well I will be replacing the cam sensor for the 3rd time in 14 months. It seams from what I have read about it that sensor is a problem in most all of the PT cruisers. When it goes it makes the engine misfire. It normally will start running again after shutting it off a few times and restarting it. Might run ok for a week or a few hours.

Engine light on

They are still looking for a cause because it isnt misfiring right now or because they cant find the cause of the stored misfire codes ?
If it is misfiring right now and they cant figure it out then perhaps you should find new mechanics !
I have seen a lot of bad coils on the PT.
Misfire is usually caused by spark plug wires first, spark plugs 2nd, and coil third.
If it isnt misfiring now, spray down the wires with water. If it misfires after that replace the spark plug wires and spark plugs and try again.
If it still misfires then the problem will likely be the coil.

2004 chrysler pt cruiser with only 25k miles and i got a codes po300 and po301 misfires any help?

Good place to start, but If you check directly with Chrysler there may be a technical service bulletin, that isn't posted yet. Have the codes cleared when work done, and see what happens.
