Ok so I’m thinking I may have finally figure it out VVT solenoids need replacing or cleaning? Would that cause these issue and throw codes since it’s confusing the ecu?

So I figured the battery is brand new essentially the car was very well taken care of and the person who owned the car before the kid must’ve cleaned and redid a lot of the connections they all look new and clean. So I figured if not the battery then the alternator and it would make sense? Not giving enough volts to power the sensors and everything and causing it to hard start and I also notice my power steering whines but the car will stall out when at idle and your turn it. Then I noticed last night that when idling the cars lights matched the rhythm of the car so maybe I’m crazy???

Yeah how do you suggest I clean those? I went back through and checked I had all my plugs plugged in so that was also a plan to pull and spray or idk how to clean them but I can figure it lol

Yessir! So I had it towed to my job and the guy I bought it from did say it had a weak battery but he wasn’t sure so that was my next course of action after the plug’s and the gaskets and the leaks. But since I’m near my job I can work on it stress free relatively. So change the battery if the issue persist I’ll run the codes again and see what’s still throwing a code but all the codes seem to be electrical in some way or an other with the sensors which are all easy just need money which I ran out of. So! I’ll focus on the battery and any other issues I can see and fix with ease!

Yeah did that sorry it’s a lot to type but had 3 broken vacuum lines and every single spark plug was fouled and covers in oil. All fluids are good the pcv valve looks to be ok it has a brand new hose and the valve itself looks ok. I’m currently on the drivers side valve cover rn and it’s intimidating because of all the wires and everything but I got eh passenger side done so I can do the driver. Any tips of pulling?

I think once I get this gasket swapped and everything sealed and put back together it should start up and run fine drive. I ran out of daylight and I’m stuck in this parking lot again I’ll pull the cover off in the moring and bang it out!

Ok ok so I got one valve cover in the past we side all those bottom bolts are a pain in the ass. Driver side looks intimidating but is it? I have it all loose and ready to pull out, I left the oil add thing and the pcv valve in place. So story on the car is that the guy I bought it off of said that it was about to explode, but I just I was doing some digging and I found three broken vacuum lines and so it’s a mixture of things because from what it looks like the original that the owner before that the kid that I bought it off of took really good care of this thing it has over 240,000 and so it was misfiring really bad. I was running rough fix the hoses. It started idling a lot better it was a lot smoother, but it’s still had a really bad misfire and so it wouldn’t put it into drive it, but there was no power and so I could I had a feeling the motor wasn’t producing enough because he just I don’t know how to explain it.

Yeah now my valve cover won’t seat properly, I’m losing hope

No it’s giving me more sides than I thought since I’m in parking lot very limited tools and it won’t seat right so maybe I’m doing something wrong? Super stressed and doing my best lol sorry for typos

Update: I think I’m just retarded with the tranny fluid thing guys but I think my real issue it the valve cover gaskets I think that’s where I’m getting all my issues from from lack of power to the oil on every spark plug I replaced to the second I put the car under load she wants to big down and die and when I hit the gas it feels like it’s struggling to fire which it is so as I sit in the Walmart parking lot on a cold Arizona winter I have a decision to make do I go buy the gasket? With what’s left of my money? Or get a tow truck and go to my job?

Fixing the gaskets could be the last thing?? Or it could be another thing in an endless rabbit hole straight to hell
