if no leak I would get a new MAF sensor as well.

I will check vacuum leaks again. I have replaced the throttle body and MAF sensor before this problem approximately 2 months before still do I need to replace it?

At cold start when misfiring and RPM fluctuations occurring the advance timing for cylinder number 1 is negative (retarded) 13-15 degrees, when the advanced timing becomes positive around 5-10 degrees the rpm stabilise. Is it normal or its having issues of ignition timing?
