I just went out and ran it for a little bit. I now have a check engine light and from where the air filter is it def sounds like its sucking in air like something is not connected. I cant take off the case covering the filter and stuff I dont have the tools for it

And since you were asking earlier, to add visual. To seafoam through the brake booster you'll find the line to pour through is the one with the green-ish top. Circled in red in the picture.

In the above picture you can see the FPR (to the left of the TPS). There is a vacuum line that runs into it, shouldn't smell like gas.

P0440 is an EVAP code, could be something stupid like a loose gas cap. That shouldn't say misfire.

I tried to seafoam my brake booster line but my car couldnt stay on with that line open. Especially when adding the seafoam to the line. I used it very slowly and cautiously.
