Check engine light comes on sporadic. When off runs good. Now it is running rough with a miss. Replaced plugs, plug wires, distributor cap, rotor, alternator and ignition coil. Planning on changing pcv valve. Was told could be oxygen sensor, crank sensor or even egr.

Rather than guess and waste money on a lot of random parts, read and record the diagnostic fault codes. Those will indicate the circuit or system that needs further diagnosis, or the unacceptable operating condition.
