But were you in 4th gear for those 20 min? This might be a contributing factor.
ytyper, how long were you going 100 mph in 4th gear?

Not only in 4th gear, there will be problem in 5th and 6th gear while in high speed.
My car have no engine mod , with 18000 mile on it.
The codes came up every time when I drive in high speed!

Please provide more specific information.

Do the codes show up immediately after hitting those speeds, or is it after a long period of time. If so, how long (in minutes), does it take before your check engine light comes on.

You really should take the car to the dealer. This sounds like a very serious problem, and if your car is stock, you should have no problems with them taking care of it for you.

Today, I check the engine code are P0300,P0301,P0302,P0303,P0304 and P0304. That is cylinder 1,2,3,4 missed fire, also random missed fire too. Anyone can tell me what happen and how to solve this problem.
Thanks!
have you checked the plugs?
the reason im asking although i am FI si because when I dynoed my car, i noticed for the first time the CEL and the car was misfiring as a result of still running my stock plugs with stock gap.
