2005 GMC Jimmy has persistent misfire under load on the highway (p0301/p0300) despite replacing plugs, cables, distributor, coil, MAF, injector, intake gasket, fuel pump and filter over two years.

Standard part replacement has not resolved the misfire; the owner lacks a systematic diagnostic approach to identify the root cause.
