HI there!
The P0304 code is for the #4 cylinder.
You need to focus on that cylinder. Check the plugs, the coil and the plug wire. This is what will normally cause a misfire code, not the cam sensor.
Hope this helps!

Customer replied 285 days and 7 hours ago.

The code should have been P0340.

Oh, well that is different of course!
I would check the timing belt. If it has slipped a tooth or 2 it will throw the cam sensor code. You will have to pull the top and bottom covers to do this, but that is the most common issue once the cam sensor has been replaced.
The other option is to use a scan tool and watch the signal from the cam sensor, or the timing. This requires a high speed scanner however, not just a code reader.
