Spark plug well causing missfire

I changed the valve covers not too long ago maybe a few months and one of them is leaking causing a missfire. Is there any way to get by for a while without redoing it. I'm getting a misfire but no check engine light. Will cleaning it really well get me by.

For the P0113, check the electrical connection on the MAF sensor, as I think the MAF on these cars has the intake air temp sensor built into it

Yeah I double checked that and I think the code went away after replacing cylinder two ignition coil it's still misfiring but even worse

Make sure you have the coils plugged into the correct harness connections.
Its very easy to swap the #4 and #6 connections (others as well), thus causing the misfire.

I I think I had my connector that wasn't pushed all the way in I got that taken care of The problem is I got to most likely change the valve cover soon which I already did not too long ago

What makes you think it's the valve cover other than recent work done? Have you actually checked and found a pool of oil messing with the connection of one or more of your ignition coils, or wicking down the spark plug threads into the combustion chamber?
