Don't forget that a missfire shows up as a lean condition to an O2 sensor 
due to the excess of un-burned oxygen. If you have a bad spark plug that 
can't deliver spark at extra high pressure levels that hole  would go dead 
under load and pump a ton of raw oxygen into the exhaust, tricking the 
sensor into thinking you are lean.
