Do you have any other codes? P0301-P0306 point to a specific coil pack.

You can test the individual coil packs with a ohm meter (around 20k ohm setting should work). Check the resistence on each pin and compare the results. One showing something "oddball" from the others may (or may not) indicate a potential bad coil.
