My misfire problem has resurfaced down here in Mexico. The local shop got a "cylinder 1 misfire" code. So, if you only had 1 day to change some parts and hope you fixed it, what would you change? I have a Nissan dealer close by and might be able to get a cap and rotor if that is worth trying. Unfortunately, I don't have a lot of time right now to deal with this so I'm going to have them try something and if that doesn't work I'll just park it for a while until I have more time.
When you say vacuum leak, what would cause and/or fix something like that?
Is it misfiring, as in you can tell, or is just the code?
The duct from the air filter box to the intake plenum can get a crack in it, typically on the bottom where you can't see it...and that could even cause the problem, as well as other drivability issues, etc.
If its cyl #1, it might be the plug WIRE or the plug is iffy for example.
The distributor can be at fault too....as well as the contact in the roter/cap, etc.
