Can anybody help?? I Threw code p0443 and than pretty sure I fixed it took it out for a drive now the car idles like crap and runs like crap also, threw code p0302 #2 misfire and the engine light blinks on and off!! I check the plug and looks to me it kinda has a white haze to it but looks just like the others! The wires look good to!! Any suggestions on what I should do next besides sell the damn thing cause it's starting to become a pain!!!

Forgot to add if I hold it to the floor it spits and sputters and it backfired through the intake could it have jumped a tooth maybe?
 
Only way to know if it jumped a tooth is if you look, pop the inspection cover off and take a look.

As for the misfire, I would just replace all the plugs and wires (cheap maintenence anyways). If the problem persists, I would check the coil, and then maybe a compression test.

How many miles are on the car?
 
Well changed plugs like 1500 miles ago... Idk exactly cause when I got it the guy put another motor in with 86000 but I would say maybe 107,000 now had it a while. Ok I will do that but what would I look for to b honest?
 
Well I Checked it as tested the coil, it was bad so I got a msd coil it helped but still throwing code idk what it is cause just came on tonight! It runs good cold but once it's warmed upped it has a doggie idle like from 1000 to like 800 850ish than back up again and sounds cammed! if u putt with it up the road it like loads itself up and my Eco gauge goes nuts! It snaps back and forth from decl to poor and than will stick on poor! But it I have it planted it will clean itself out and run like a raped ape until I start putting with it again!!
 
Sorry I'm late check your wires to the coil as your egr may have melted also check your plugs out they may have been fouled off

If I remember correct p0443 is evap purge solenoid?
 
It is I replaced it and got ohms outa it and ohms outa the wires coming to the EVAP but still through the code... Did the egr delete and it helped but once the car warms up that code trips again
