Find the problem then fix it, putting a cover on it is not the answer. As for the codes when did the additional codes come in? Water in the coils does not mean you need to replace them it means you need to stop the leak and just clean and dry them! I am not sure what you have going on but unless the coil test bad why replace it. As for the knock sensor, it does not like water! Clear the code and see what takes place, if you think the octane level is the issue up it to the next level and see what takes place.

p0332, p0301.p0303.p0307 he states water is running down the wiring harness and getting on the coils, $60 a coil to replace-$650 labor he said i could remove coils and put a thin bead of silicone on and that would fix that... and the knock sensor code( i put 87 octane in last week and it would chatter under hard acceleration)- i am gonna have em clear it and run a tank of 94 octane and see what happens as he states the knock sensor is inside the engine and is about $900 to replace- sooo ummm nooo... i am gonna keep this car covered when not in use also to see if this helps..
good luck with your problems though. Id suggest looking for a good independent service specialist in your area.
