Long story short, I had my oil changed, shortly after my engine light came on and my truck started running bad. I took it to AutoZone and put it on the computer, it gave me two codes, one for misfire cylinder 2 and the other for the MAP sensor. I changed the coil pack on the #2 cylinder, the truck was still running bad. I then changed the MAP sensor, now I have a flashing lightning bolt my engine light and the traction control light is on and I don't have a clue where to start. Can you please help me?

Couple questions. First how long after the oil change did this start happening?

Second, we need to get the vehicle scanned again now that you have different lights and let us know what the actual codes are.

Lastly, please find out what oil they used when they did the oil change. If they used the wrong oil, we could have an issue with the variable valve timing system.

Here is a guide that talks about this system if we need to go that direction:

Let's start with this and go from there. Thanks
