so i recently changed my valve cover gasket because i had a bit of oil in cylinder 1 on top of the spark plug any ways i also replaced the coil and wires the plugs were replaced not long ago today i was driving n it started to idle weird then i popped a check engine light i took it to autozone and they said it was random misfires in all 4 cylinders any thoughts would be great thanks
 
Check the boot of the spark plug wires. Chances are something conductive found its way between the cylinder head and the top of the sparkplugs. My guess is oil if you just replaced the valve cover gasket. The same thing could happen if you wash your engine and water finds its way down there. Were you sure to also replace the circular gaskets for each sparkplug well?
 
yes i did replace them now that you said that it has been raining like a mother around my parts lately you think my intake could had sucked some upi its not a cold air but it is pretty close to the ground
