Engine knock + p0300

My 02 3.5 when driving and barely on gas it knocks but once I give it a little more gas it stops right away and this is in any gear and only sometimes when I'm hardly touching the pedal... Plus every few days I'm
getting a random/multiple misfire code

It's either a coil a sparkplug, or for sure. It should eventually throw a cylinder specific code (or a few), so you will know exaclty which one went bad. If and when you have to replace a coil, go with Oem.
