Default please help car misfiring engine management lights flashing

can anyone help me with this problem? The car was running fine I stopped at the garage to buy fuel got 2 minutes down the road noticed and the car lost power with the engine management light flashing.

it judders when the car is on tick-over and there is a misfire between 0-2500 rpm.

I put the car on a diagnostic test and it pulled codes p0300 (random misfire) and then all cylinders bar one came up p0303 p0304 p0305 p0306.

coincidently the car also pulled the code for CAT which I believe to be unrelated

Misfire is usually caused by bad spark plug, cloggy injector, bad tune (if has been modified). I suggest to first start with checking your spark plugs and erase the codes.

You just bought fuel and then the engine is misfiring in all cylinders - sounds like a bad batch of fuel to me. Probably some water from a leaking underground tank.
