Default P0300 help

2005 Suburban / 4x4 / 5.3L CID / VIN - Z / no upgrades or mods.
the issue is a p0300 and my scan tool shows misfires on all 8 cylinders.
I did the typical parts toss, replaced plugs and wires, no success.
Randomly the CEL says p0301 so I swapped coil packs with cylinder 3 and still shows p0301.
Compression test shows all cylinders over 155psi.
Long term fuel trim no more than 0-5%
Short term fuel trim no more than 0-5%
Cleaned the throttle body
Cleaned the MAF
Misfire only at idle
I need help
Thank you in advance

Can you post the number of misfire counts on each cylinder?
Freeze frame data for P0301?
Fuel trims are 5%on each bank?

Misfires on cylinder one high enough to set P0301.
The other cylinder misfires except cylinder eight are low and probably normal.
Since firing order is 1-8, they may be influencing each other or 8 could have actual misfire.
May try swapping 8-6 to see if makes a difference.

Note: reset code and cylinder current/ history counts to get a fresh look.
The P0301 isn't a hard misfire correct? Check engine light doesn't flash?
Since freeze frame shows misfire at light load and cylinder 1 having counts high enough to set P0301 could be injector is over fueling at light loads
Don't know if you can swap injectors.

In addition to very spark isn't leaky to ground you can test by passing a grounded wire along the coil/plug wires to see if attracts spark.

Today is a blizzard so I won't be able to get out and drive around, tomorrow I'll get it in the shop and swap the coils 6 & 8. I never thought of a grounded wire to attract spark, good idea. As for injectors, I think I can swap them, I probably just need new orings, which are cheap enough.
