Default CEL codes p1443, p0307, and intermittent low coolant light...help?

I have a 1998 Mustang GT that has recently been acting up. I got the CEL checked and it read p1443 and p0307, but i also have had an intermittent low coolant light on. I have no idea where to start and do not want to pour a lot of money into it, as i do not have it. You can really feel the misfire while pressing into the gas, idling, and at higher speeds. I have put some fuel system cleaner into the tank and it seemed to help a little, but not enough to make any difference. To be honest i really don't know where to start as i am only 17 and not very experienced in dealing with car troubles. Any advice, suggestions, help, instructions, or anything would be appreciated.

Justin

Default

the misfire is most likely a bad wire or shorted coil.. Try looking at the #7 wire and see if it has any signs of it wearing thru. The 1443 is an emission code, the purge solenoid, make sure the vacuum lines are on it, and make sure its still plugged in
