Before I did anything I got a P0155 code. The 02 extension on my driver side was touching the header. I took it out and wrapped it up with electrical tape and some aluminum protector. I then switched the driver 02 sensor to the passenger side and got a P0161 code. So at this point do I need new 02 sensors?

Did you swap the passenger pre-cat o2 sensor with the driver post cat o2?

misfire 7 P0307
UPDATE: A couple of months ago I put on two new O2's sensors and sparkplugs. My car ran strong until now. My car started sputtering and shaking like the motor was going to shutt off. I feel no lost in power but at WOT it sputters and at idle it shakes at low rpm's. I was driving yesterday and again received code misfire number 7 (P0307). Damn!! I'm thinking it might be a clogged injector or a coil? Does anyone know how to remove injectors or coils? i want to see if they are dirty or clogged. I did see alot of gunk on spark plug number 7 when I replaced them a couple of moths ago. Thanx

Unbolting the coils are a piece of cake. Each coil has it's own harness plug and is bolted to the coil pack bracket (or valve cover if '98) with two small bolts. Or an easy thing to do is swap all the coils from bank to bank and see if the code follows. If you had a bad coil, you'd get a Cylinder #2 missfire instead of #7 after the swap.
Was the #7 sparkplug gunked up with oil or crud? Does your car smoke out of the exhaust? How does your coolant and oil look? I only ask that because a blown head gasket could contaminate a cylinder and cause the spark plug not to fire.

Jason, Yes #7 sparkplug was gunked up with oil or crud. My car doesn't smoke out of the exhaust. Coolant is fine and oil looks ok but burns quickly. Its my DD so I need to do it ASAP.
