My car has been idling really rough at stop and kinda jumps in rpms from 700-500.

p0325 Knock sensor 1 circuit/ bank 1
p0140 oxygen sensor Circuit No activity detected
Bank 1 sensor 2
p0325 Knock sensor 1

pending
Car wasnt idling rought until i changed sparkplugs for regular maintenance.

Check your spark plugs and coil packs since the rough idle started affer that work.

didnt verify gap on plugs. was thinking about swapping the coils out as my first resort but i guess a vacuume leak may be the culprit?

he didnt say coils fixed his problems. He said to check the coils and plugs because it started after I removed the coils and replaced the plugs.

P1320 Ign system primary
^^^^
This is the reason for your rough idle. The primary means the error is on the ecu or low voltage side of the coil. Check the connections to the coils, make sure you didn't accidentally bend a prong when you plugged them back in. Also make sure the electrical connectors are all seated nice and tight. They have to snap in place.
p0325 Knock sensor 1 circuit/ bank 1
p0140 oxygen sensor Circuit No activity detected
Bank 1 sensor 2
p0325 Knock sensor 1
Circuit (bank 1)
^^^^
These errors have no effect on engine idle. The KS if it's indeed bad will pull timing back under hard acceleration to avoid engine knock. The O2 sensor in question is only monitoring catylist efficiency. It is not effecting engine performance.

Fix the misfire (p1320) first. Clear the error codes and recheck about a week later to see what pops up. If the KS or O2 codes come back, replace both sensors.
