Replaced the valve cover gasket due to oil in spark plug holes causing misfire DTC. Then idled like crap but got that fixed due to improperly seated gasket in the rear of valve cover. CEL turned off but came back with P1174 code. I searched and found lots of fixes but not sure where to start logically.

What is the most logical way to approach this fault without breaking the bank? Car is being driven now by daughter in Atlanta (3 hours away from me). Does not seem to suffer from power loss, and drives fine and pulls hard and idles smooth.
Does she have to worry about getting stranded?
Thanks.
