DTC's Please! someone help me
 
Hey Y'all,
I'm a newbie to this forum and I own a 1998 Honda Accord Ex vtec and I got problems!.. I went to "inspection" N.C. and I failed. My Honda runs like a scallded dog but lately it seems to be going through a shit load of gas. My check engine light came on so I scanned it with my OBDII scanner. So far the following are the codes that I got.
PO420- Catalyst System Efficiencey Below Threshold(Bank1)
PO301- Cylinder 1 Misfire Detected
PO302- Cylinder 2 Misfire Detected
PO303- Cylinder 3 Misfire Detected
PO304- Cylinder 4 Misfire Detected
PO300- Random/Multiple Cylinder Misfire Detected and finally,
P1259- VTEC System Circuit Fault (Bank1)

I figured that since I'm really burning a lot of gas that my O2 sensors might be failing and the computer is screwing up. Maybe it is putting a phony value in to replace the o2 sensor readings. I also figured that the misfires could be plugs and wires. I'm not sure. If I just replace what the codes indicate is wrong I could spend a small fortune.... Catalytic Converter, O2 sensors, plugs wires, rotor etc.... What would you troublshoot first?
