Default P0300, P0304, P1174, CEL ON !

I need some help resetting the CEL. I would like to reset the CEL and drive it again for a while and see if the CEL comes back. Can I just disconnect the battery for 5 minutes to reset the CEL?
If the CEL comes back, I would like to change the coil pack first as I have a spare. Check the rubber boot after the MAF for leak. Then change the spark plugs, then O2 sensor last. Does this sound logical? Thanks.

I found the problem why I get a misfire on cylinders. I was about to look and replace the spark plugs and came to find out the spark plug holes are filled with engine oil. The spark plugs are submerged in oil causing the spark to jump to the head instead of in the spark plug tip.
I will get the valve cover gasket kit and new spark plugs and wires and call it a day.
Turned out to be a simple fix !
