Only thing left is the fuel/air ,have you had the injection spray pattern checked ? are the air/vacuum pipes all in good condition ?i am a great believer in fuel addatives that clear carbon etc deposited through out the engine/exhaust ,if you want to give the addative a try get one that is specifically for the catalytic converter as well as the combustion chamber etc follow the instructions carefully , you may have to repeat the process twice but could well clear your misfire keep me updated if you wish
Thank you Steve. I finally found out what was causing the misfire codes using a obd2 scan tool with live data and found that my long and short term fuel trim was maxed out causing 40% increase in the amount of fuel going in. The bank 2 oxygen sensor #1 was extremely dirty so I cleaned all 4 oxygen sensors along with cleaning the mass air sensor and everything was back to normal

Was this the original trouble code, or a new one that showed up after you did all those things? If it showed up after, double check you've got the right plug lead going to the right cylinder.
SOURCE: the codes im gettin are
when you get tird of replacing parts and guessing, get the vehicle hooked to a real time scanner ot a code scanner, someone with experience reading sensors can tell youwhere to start diagnosing, my guess so far is an intake or fuel problem, could be a vavuum leak bad injector or something of the sorts, realtime will give you readings on sensors and actuators that may not set a code themselves but reflect on another sensor, otherwise its a guessing game and a waste of money
SOURCE: engine light on, idles rough. had engine light diagnosis.replaced
See if you can get the codes. If it is still number 4 only (probably a P0304) it could be the fuel flow through injector 4. Try some Techron cleaner and make sure number 4 plug isn't fouled. Also get the compression checked on number 4.
If not, it could be the ignition control module assuming all other changes have been made. If you get a code it will help. A P0300 would point toward the ICM. If it is number 4 only it could still be the ICM. Expect around $150 for the module if you do it yourself. The ICM may be under the coil pack. If you are getting a P1361 and/or P1362 it could be the Cam position sensor. They are around $40 and are usually near the number one cylinder. Mine is hiding under the water pump pulley. It is a Buick with the 3.8 engine but the principal is the same.

Had the same problem, car was misfiring on cylinder 3 and 4. replaced wires, plugs, and ignition coil. still misfired on the same cynlinders. turned out the main engine wiring harness plug in was coming loose. spent well over $150 on the unneccesary repairs and ultimately fixed the problem wit a $3 bag of wire ties to hold the plug in...

take it back to the dealer they didnt install the coil or electric distubutor properly because of the misfire its causes o2 sensor to give bad reading .
SOURCE: I had a cylindar #4 misfire changed plugs and wires and it still feels like its missing
Could be the fuel side. Change the fuel injector.
