Cylinder 2&3 misfiring, inspect plugs if ok, mark and swap coil packs for known good ones clear codes, run eng brake torque it rev to cause missfire, repeat until check eng, lite comes on, recheck codes if changed cylinders replace coil packs if not, you have two bad injectors.

The PCV is a valve and a hose, that sucks engine ring bypass gasses and reburns them. if it plugs up the engine leaks oil.

if the hose cracks it sucks air and the AFR goes lean and bucks.

only on engines (unstated) that use a MAF sensor.

engine that use a MAP sensor ,race too fast with full power and no jerk with air leaks.

Changed 02 sensor and all codes are clear but check engine light is still on in my 99 acura cl

press the clear DTC button on the scan tool.
bam, gone.
or you are using a cheap scan tools that does not
all factory codes, and one is set.!
keep in mind, the CEL dont glow for all DTCs
and many scan tools are blind to some or all factory codes
P1xxx and P2xxx are both factory only codes, only
Acura codes,
rule 3> if the scan tool does show say P1xxx code
do not use non Acura data on that code, as its a Acura only code
only P0xxx codes are a standard here, in USA>

in some countries, even P0300 code (gross misfire) in Canada
do NOt glow the CEL, but does store the code
amazing huh?

Hesitant when accelerating and already replaced MAP sensor

I use a hand held diag computer that can read 02 sensors,as long as the sensors are going up and down between lean and rich they are working.

My Nissan yesterday started idling terribly and when I was driving it was shaking and vibrating so bad it felt like I was driving with square tires.

I doubt the EVAP problem is causing the rough running. The knock sensor code means the knock sensor noted a severe vibration. The cylinder 4 code could mean the miss has become bad enough to trigger a code for one cylinder.
I would look at the injectors and for a vac leak. And the spark plugs can be firing in air but not inside the cylinders under pressure.

The car idles up down very slightly its hard to notice unless you realy listen to the engine, when you shut the car off it jerks a little its like a shake , also sometimes when you are about to come to a...

Sounds like your 02 sensors are bad. This will cause speratic idle. Up down, up down. If it still fires a little after engine is shut off, then there is too much fuel in motor caused by faulty 02 sensors. This will also cause check engine light to turn on. The 02 sensors tell the computer how much gas to give to engine
