However, yesterday the problem occurred during driving at lower speeds. So whatever it is might be starting to fail completely. The oxygen sensors may be the problem, I'm going to check on the price for replacing them both. It might take me awhile to accomplish this, but I will report back when I have found, or not found the problem. Much thanks to all.
Sometimes the misfire is cause by a failing cap-n-rotor and/or an ignition wire set going bad. No codes would show that. A misfire sometimes.

There is a TSB on routing the ignition wires to avoid misfires and pre-ignition problems.
