O2 sensor are not used at idle. So although you will get a reading, they will not cause a misfire.

 

Your problem is either Spark fuel or compression.

 

Start checking the easy / cheapest first. The PTU, make sure the connections on both sides are clean and have good contact. If it still misfiles, check you are getting a spark from each plug.

 

If you are, check the injectors are firing, with the ignition on but engine not running, rota the CAS and listen for the clicks.

 

If all is well here then you need to do a compression check on your cylinders. Low compression and you need to do a cylinder leakage test to tell you what's at fault.

 

This is the order in what you should check. My guess is that you will find the fault at the spark level, i.e. ptu or coil pack connector.

Check the injector connectors are seated correctly. To replace the lower intake gaskets you will have had the injector connectors off and they very rarely make a good contact when first replaced...

I had a similar issue and it was a spark plug that was intermittentantly faulty. It's a fairly easy thing to try after checking the PTU connections.
