Default I need help. misfiring

here are the codes I am getting:
p0172
p0197(engine oil temp sensor circuit low input)
p0352 (coil B)
p0354 (coil D)
p0356 (coil F)


Could this be a wiring harness issue? those coils are all on the same side.
My dad thinks I should start with the oil temp sensor but I am getting nowhere with my searches. I'm thinking about taking my intake off so I can check all my plugs.(in the meantime)

Red, start with pulling the #2 plug, the coil right behind the passenger side headlight since it is the easiest to get to. Remove the coil and look into the hole. Do you see oil down in the hole (possibly even on the end of the rubber boot)? If yes, then your problem is a bad valve cover seal and it is allowing oil into the plug wells and it is shorting out the coils. Next, just to the left of the coil that you just played with, you should see 6 wires all coming together under a single bolt. This is the ground wires for the coils. Remove the bolt and clean up the connection really well. You may find that there is some corrosion on the terminals and that is causing what you are seeing.

Lets see what you have after these 2 checks and then we can go from there.

Thumbs up

I'm in total agreement with Thermo. He's the man, listen to him. (Plus where he said to start is a really great place.)

just got back from out of town. I checked the #2 plug and it does have a little bit of iol on it. not sure exactly what grounding you are talking about(six wires).

Patriot, let me snap a picture of what I am talking about and then it will make sense. All the coils ground to a common point on the engine. It is just to the left of the coil that you messed with.
