Hi there, my name is Jake. Sorry your having issues, but thanks for reaching out. your question is indicating your equinox starts chicken on a stop sign..... as delicious as that sounds I think it was a typo if you could elaborate fo m e.

I change spark plugs coils all sensors are map sensor MAF sensor and still you know chicken

sorry, I am not understanding you. is the engine stalling at stop signs?

The engine trouble code P0300 random misfire and I changed all those things
Automotive Expert
gotcha! this could be the camshaft actuator solenoid or even the timing chain on these engines. Both can cause this code.

I change both sensors the time solenoid camshaft sensor and song something about that
Automotive Expert
do you hear a slight rattle at from the engine? especially at start up?

No

k, if no noise at all and you don't think it's the timing chain then I would watch fuel trims on the scanner to see if it may be a fuel pump issues. if you have a scan tool you can do this here. Ignition ON, engine OFF, command the Fuel Pump Enable ON with a scan tool. Verify the fuel pressure is between 345-690 kPa (50-100 PSI) with the fuel pump running. Verify that the fuel pressure, after the fuel pump is turned off, decreases to 500-599 kPa (72-87 PSI), and does not decrease more than 34 kPa (5 PSI) in 1 minute from that point.
