Default Looking for some advice

My car is a 1997 mustang Gt and the check engine light came on after i noticed a miss and while in park the car hunting for idle moving up and down from 900-1200, after scanning it the code returned was for multiple cylinder misfires. After checking the plugs i found #7 and #8 were dead. I chaged all the plugs and inspected the wires and also cleaned out the IAB solenoid. then turned off the code and went out for a ride. Car idled a little better but not perfect still hunting a little.After 30ish miles the light came back on, rescanned and now it says EGR insuffeciency and Catalyst effiency below threshhold bank 2. So now im confused and wondering what i should do.....

thanks for any help
Brian
