Tons of codes

okay so my car was down for a crank sensor , I got a bad sensor so the car wouldn’t start. I got the car started after putting another sensor and the check engine light will flash 5 or 6 times then stay solid while driving. When I went to get the codes read there was like 15 codes that came up. The main one was cylinder 2 misfire. I flooded the engine from cranking the car with the bad sensor and to unflood I pulled the plugs. Could this be the reason for all of the codes ?? I did crank the car without the sensor in. Just need to know because this is my daily and I cannot have it go down for a week again lol

Do you want us to guess which codes you got? Cuz that might take a while.

Let's just pull your battery for a few minutes, plug it back in, perform the 20-time brake pedal stomp procedure (look it up), start it up and see which codes remain at that point.

Do not drive it like this.

I mentioned coils a lot and you seem to ignore that. It's a well-known weak point on the 8 and you mentioned before that the timing light shows the sparks are not very stable and your engine is misfiring.

Again, if you don't know the history on them, replace them. People had their cars burnt down because of bad coils(which clog the cat with unburnt fuel).

When you reinstalled the plugs, were they put in correctly? All the plugs and wires are secure?
