You have a leak somewhere leaning it out and that causes the misfire. OR you can clear the codes and see which one comes back first, chances are it triggered some of the others. Then diagnose from there. ---

changed plugs and that made a difference, but the hose thats going to the fuel pressure reguator frayed and fell apart so I gotta go get a rubber one so I have a vacuum leak but that doesnt matter for only one day, and I’m picking up new coils for cyl. 1 and 2 after I cash my paycheck tomoro, actually thinking about keeping this and building it now, and then havin the da as a daily, tough decision there ---
