There is a common misconception that a CODE READ and a DIAGNOSTIC TEST are one and the same.. They are most certainly NOT! The first thing to have done is to verify that the engine has a misfire or not. Then if the misfire is present, determine what is the cause of the misfire. A misfire in and of itself will not cause n oxygen sensor to "burn out". However if the oxygen sensor is bad, it will cause a performance problem and also cause an idle issue. What needs to be done is to connect the vehicle to a scanner and observe the data when the problem is happening. That way you can know what the fuel mixture is and whether of not the oxygen sensors are working properly. Unfortunately, there is a lot more to engine performance diagnostics than just a code reading.

It may be a loose negative battery ground cable, too.
Check the negative battery cable where it conencts to the engine ground. It may be loose, corroded, damaged, or otherwise not making a good ground contact.

Add a grounding strap ($11 - AutoZone) from the engine to the chassis. That may help, but it's most likely the ignition switch.

Sound like too much current going through the switch. Possible causes are bad motor, corrosion on the wire or contacts at the switch or motor, bad ground for motor, or excess friction in the window regulator. It can be any or multiple of the above reasons.
