Ant aftermarket electronics installed recently? Alarm? or ever an oiled air filter system? If not Check your coil(s)

if you can, find a scan tool and see what the fuel trim is reading when the misfire is happening. Sounds like you may have a upper intake leaking vacuum, or a possible O2 sensor shorting out.

Yes, I know for sure that the Radio & Boom Box are after market. I will check this morning for anything else that might be. Thanks again, upfront, for any ideas. I'm banging my head against the wall with this one!
