Default running not to well, i have codes (need help)

I have a 1999 RX300 with 140K miles, its never let me down until yesterday, I went to drive it and it ran ruff, I am getting codes P0300, P0302, P0303, P1305 and P1025, After reading threads on this site I replaced the OCV and all the plugs, the gaps are correct to. I am a little worried if I buy coil packs it might not fix my problem and I cant really afford to keep replacing parts that will not fix the problem, if anyone has some insight please let me know

Joe

i think i may have figured it out, I took coil pack #2 out of the cylinder plugged it back in turned the car over, no spark, checked #3 and I got a spark, I then swapped coil packs from cylinder 2 to 3 and still no spark, so I think I found a bad coil pack. I am going to get a new one tomorrow, any ideas if I should one from auto-zone or the dealer?

Spark plugs, coil-packs and all sensors should be OEM. <= period

Like salimshah said, OEM! Don't skimp on essential parts.
