"misfire" codes keep coming back and engine will run rough.
Replaced spark plugs, both coil packs, and o2 sensors. upon start up, car will run fine for a few seconds, then start to run rough. scan and will get either #2 or #4 cyl. misfire code.

missfires come from, low compression, bad plug, bad coil, vacuum leak or injector issue. all these need to be checked before throwing parts at it. take your time and verify each item. i would start with a compression test.
