    i had somewhat the same problem in my 01. Mine was throwing that misfire code when then engine went higher than 2000 rpm but nothing when it was lower or at idle. I was getting the misfire on cyl. 1 & 4, so I thought it was the coil, but the coil was good. I had the ignition module checked and it was good too. I changed plugs and wires but still got the code and a flashing SES when it reached that rpm. I had that rough idle too! What it turned out to be was that it needed to re-learn the CKP variation for the crankshaft sensor it uses to detect misfire. I used a MODIS scanner to do it. No more misfire and the idle definitely smoothed out.

    When my ICM was on it's way out, I was going through random stalling issues.
