Default Help: CEL and VSC lights are on

Started my car this morning and noticed idle was kinda rough. As I pull out of the driveway, the CEL and VSC lights came on. Car seems to run fine and the rough idle went away. Scanned the car for codes and got these:
P0300
P0302
P0304
P0305
P0306

All these codes are referring to cylinder misfires. Anyone experienced this before? What could cause the misfires? Spark plugs and wires are all new, changed them out about 6 months ago.

What is the condition of the VVTi solenoid? Have you cleaned it and the filter?

Wow, why so pissed off? Just looking for quick clues, not everyone is a mechanic by trade. Good luck going through life with that attitude.

I cleaned the VVTi solenoid and the filter about 5 weeks ago. Hope I didn't damage it while cleaning it. I'll check it when I get home tonight since it's easy to get to unlike the spark plugs and ignition coils which I did check over the weekend when I had the time to go under the hood.

Clear the codes and drive the car again. Report back with any new codes.

Assume much?. I did try searching but most of the people with the P030x issues have other codes going along with it that point to a specific issue. If you know of a better search keyword, by all means provide a link. Otherwise, I am done responding because you're wasting both of our times.
