Default Why is my 97 Disco randomly misfiring?

Got codes
p0340 camshaft sensor bank A
p0300 Random misfires detected
p1193
p1158
p1314
p1316

Replaced spark plugs, and vehicle speed sensor which I've been meaning to do, checked spark plug wires by pulling and checking for sparks, they're all good.

Cleared and reread codes and so far p1316 and p1193 are all that has come back up. '

Any ideas? I'm a few hours from a credible mechanic, have stress fractures in my right hand from mnt biking, and don't know tons about engines. Also I do have a new camshaft position sensor and if anyone can give me detailed information on exactly where it is located or how to change it, I would appreciate it.

My misfires were my coils. I bought a can of Wire Dryer and now no more misfires. Fast and easy trouble shoot.

So when you say around the water pump, do you mean under the timing cover? I figure its either under the timing cover, the valve covers, or behind the engine under the ignition coils, but I've got a broken hand and dont feel like poking around too much. Google has been little help.
