Default Can't figure out misfire

Hello I have a 2001 ZR2 Blazer. I still have a misfire after replacing plugs, wires, coil, control module, distributor, mass air flow sensor, throttle position sensor, air filter. Fuel pressure is right at 58. Trouble code p0300 I sometimes get a flashing check engine light as well. (At times its at idle other times its wgen crusing at around 60mph.)
Rpms Jump up and down at idle and sometime when driving. Runs better when cold. Blazer has 206k miles. I have had it for about 2mo. Any help would be appreciated.

the 0300 is multiple cylinder misfire. What type of cap and rotor do you have, these trucks are fussy about that. Use only acdelco cap rotor and wires. Flashing check engine is high amount of misfires.

It's a brand new duralast distributor with cap and rotor.

Did you have any change in symptoms after any of those component changes (good or bad)?

After distributor was changed all was good for a few days.

when driving all is good for about 15 min of freeway driving then the rough idle starts.

Does the rough idle correlate to the coolant temp?

did you do a fuel pressure test when it's idleing rough?

If you have live scan capability, see it it gets rough after the fuel system goes from open to closed loop.

Most problems are a cause of something done recently, I would put an ac delco cap and rotor on and take off the garbage

did a pressure test when it was hot. Fuel pressure (running) was 52psi. Also when driving on freeway and when let off the gas from around 65mph i can feel it missing.
