Default $1200 Mazdaspeed 6

i am unsure if this is the right place to post this but i will give it a shot. I just bought a speed6 that is a bit worse for wear but the price seemed like a great deal for a project car.

Mods:
Cob Sri
Magnaflow exhaust
Turbosmart BOV

The Good
-Car runs and drives
-Transmission and clutch are good
-Interior is in good shape

.......The Bad
-A bit of oil leak around valve cover
-Rust over back wheel wells
-back bumper needs to be replaced (small fender bender)
-5 engine codes (1 pending)
-Stutter at anything above 3500rpm

I have looked through the forums for information and plan on dealing with all of these issues myself, i am just posting too see if i have missed an steps and if you guys have any input.

Codes:
p0304 (misfire cylinder 4) pending
p0401 (EGR)
p0138 (02 sensor)
p2187 (system to lean at idle)
p0300 (random misfire)

Solutions:
-EGR valve cleaning/delete could deal with stuttering/misfire
-Spark plugs/coil packs also could help with misfire
-Car has aftermarket BOV which could be the reason for p2187
-injectors could be an issue as well

Those are the easier solutions i have come up with, i plan on replacing the plugs and do an egr clean and unplug at the same time. Is there anything i am missing? I would greatly appreciate any input.

-Thankyou!

Sorry if i haven't posted in the correct forum.

Compression test and a leak down asap.

How many miles are on that motor? I would almost be tempted to just junk that motor and drop in a brand new long block from edge and never worry.

The car only has 150000km on it, besides all of the nonsense it drives really well under 3500rpm. I think the engine is salvagable from what I have seen. I work from home so I don't need to drive a bunch, the car is sitting until I get the stutter issue sorted.

You'll know if the engine is salvageable after your compression and leak down test.

Does it cut at 3500, or it just sucks going over 3500? And you happen to be in Canada or something?

I haven't got to into the throttle, but it has a stutter then seems to get boost after a fairly big shake. I hope I don't have to do an engine out swap, hopefully I can capitalize on a great deal and have a good winter vehicle. I will do a compression check in the next couple of days. Hopefully switching the plugs and eve clean will remedy some of the issues. Thanks again for the suggestions guys.
