Hello there.
The error code P0308 indicates a misfire in cylinder 8 of your engine. Since you've already replaced the spark plugs and the coil for that cylinder, and the issue persists, there are a few other potential factors you might want to consider:
A) Fuel Injector. B) Compression Issue. C) Vacuum Leak. D) Wiring and Connections. E) Faulty Sensors such as a crankshaft position sensor or a camshaft position sensor.
As for resetting the engine light, you can try the following steps: 1) OBD-II Scanner. Use an OBD-II scanner to clear the error codes. 2) Drive Cycles. Some vehicles require a certain number of drive cycles to complete after a repair before the engine light turns off automatically. Driving your vehicle under varying conditions (city and highway, different speeds, etc.) can help the system reevaluate and potentially turn off the light.
Since your vehicle is relatively new and has low mileage, it's somewhat surprising to encounter this issue. If you're unable to diagnose and resolve the problem yourself, I recommend consulting with a professional mechanic or taking your vehicle to a dealership for further diagnosis and repair. They can use more advanced diagnostic equipment to pinpoint the exact cause and ensure it's properly addressed.

I hope this helps. Have a nice day!

Delete codes and see if it comes back on.

I'm my experience, it's better to change all coils and I would have the valve gasket checked and replaced.
Check the spark plugs as well.

It's fixed. I drove it Saturday morning and after a stop at Ace hardware, it went out. I appreciate all responses, Thanks !!
