bad miss bunch of codes

[TECHRF]

well my 01 Blazer has been giving me trouble for the last few months. after throwing the SES a few times for multiple misfire and VAT's I go to start it 2 weeks ago and no start. I crank the crap out of it and get a pop and some white smoke out of the intake.I let it go until next day and it starts on the first try only now it has a bad miss. I needed to do a tune up anyway so I get the usual cap, rotor, plugs and wires. plugs I pulled looked OK had a problem w/one of the wires (#1 Cyl), thinking that was the problem I fire it up and same sh!t. while I was in there I notice the top of the manifold is wet w/coolant. I know I have a coolant problem from an oil analysis I did not too long ago.
I just received my parts to deal w/miss and coolant leak

oil analysis

it just suck that I have to have someone else do the work and hope its done right.
anyone else have any thoughts on this.
