Ok, so about a month ago our van started bucking at about 45 miles per hour, with the sputtering during acceleration. This was more pronounced when the a/c was on. Eventually the check engine light came on. The code was P0301. A buddy and I replaced the plugs and wires. About 15 miles later, the light came back on and the same symptoms reappeared. I had my wife get a code run on it, which produced P0300 (misfire in cal. 1). Went back and replaced the ignition pack. After driving it for a while and noticed the absence of sputtering and bucking, along with smooth acceleration, I smelled victory. Then, the next day the check engine light reappeared. I had my wife get a code run on it and it came back P0401. I cleaned out the erg valve (it wasn't that dirty either) and put it back on. Although it drove nicely the light came back on. I got another code and it came up P0401 and P2006. Not sure where to go with this. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Scott

see pics and check what you can prior to having a pro look at it as it may be shorts/open in wires or bad connections. this includes looking for air leaks and bad grommets on engine or like duct work not connected or holes.
