The car is throwing the following codes:

P1443
P1131
P1151
P0308
P0171
P0174

Things I have replaced in recent months since owning the car:

-new front O2 sensors
-new clutch
-new MAF
-rebuilt imrc, with new upper/lower intake gaskets
-new ntk plugs (plug wires were replaced shortly before I purchased by prior owner)
-new coil packs

Where is the best place to start? Im wondering if there is one I should focus on resolving first which may clear up some of the other codes.

Thanks,
Matt

So the misfire on cylinder 8.....I pulled the plug and found this. What would cause this, I didn’t think the plug wires were very old?

It's likely a perished donut gasket on the valve cover that seals the spark plug tube. Pretty cheap and easy to fix.
