Has the wiring harness been inspected and tested yet? Hook up a scan tool and watch the live data when the problem occurs,to see what changes or triggers the misfire and the codes. If possible compare Your live data with another comparable Pt Cruiser.

I had a coolant leak in the rear of my engine that shorted my harness and body control module and cluster.
