Ok thanks for the help, I'll get back to ya when I get it checked, wed

Do you think it's ok to drive for now if it's just a idle problem?

IF, and this is a big IF.. it doesn't misfire underway, yeah, drive it gently. If you're getting misfires underway, then no. dont' drive it.

Ok so I took it to orieleys, 7 codes, basically said, plugs, wires, ignition coil, o2 sensor, MAF sensor, fuel filter... the people I bought it from did new plugs so I'm gonna start with the 2 sensors and throddle body, then replace the rest if needed... gonna keep it parked till I get it running right

Ok, so I'd do it this way - CLEAN the MAF. Clean the throttle body. Then replace the wires. Then replace the coil.

Ok thank you, also I'm sure the exaust leak has to do with the o2 sensors, so I'm gonna get that fixed in a cpl days
