Buy some throttle body cleaner. Remove throttle body and clean. Remove the IAC tear it down and clean it also. If still running bad, you may have a bad injector.

po300 is random misfire code. Check for metal flakes under the distributor cap. If you find any the distributor shaft bearing is toast and you will have to replace the dist. Very common problem on older 3.3 VGE motors.
