Any help you can give would be appreciated.

You'll have to find out WHY the misfire is happening. That car can have bad misfires from corroded plug ends, and it's a common problem. You could keep throwing parts at it, or you could invest in some good diagnosis help from a mechanic. My car had both a misfire code and a fuel trim code and we tracked down the fuel trim to a bad Air Mass Meter and the misfire to bad plug ends. What a good mechanic will do is replace a suspect part with a "known good" when they've narrowed it down, and see if the problem is solved.
Did you spray "choke and carb cleaner" (of which you have neither) into the AMM? If so, you might have wrecked it. Is the CE light still on? If so, read the codes again.
