I just dealt with a P0300 code as well and thought it was the DIC. My indie checked with Tech 2 an it read DIC failure, however when he put in a new DIC, there was no change and the Tech 2 still read DIC failure. As he was doing that I noticed a hose on the driver's side of the engine cover that looked like it should have connected to something, but didn't!! That turned out to be the culprit. A broken vacuum hose. This one was the hard plastic one that also connects to the brake booster. I have read a lot about making sure your vacuum lines are good. I didn't follow that advice and put my indie through an hour of diagnostics (he didn't look for the vacuum hose either!). He was surprised that a bad vacuum hose would show up as a failing DIC. So, my advice, Check your vacuum hoses!!! May be the culprit or may not, but if it is, it is an easy fix.
