random misfire at idle

so iv noticed lately my car is getting a random misfire at idle when i start it up, doesnt happen all the time, dashdaq sees it, but it doesnt throw a code, and when i scan for a code on dashdaq there is nothing, but when i clear code, misfire reading on the gauges in the dashdaq goes away. whenever it does this a few seconds later my car sputters a little. Would u say new spark plugs or whats the deal? i got 21k kms on these ones and maybe 6k with tune. i ordered one step colder plugs.

will this fix my problem or is it something else?

Tuning the car seems to toast the O2 super quick. BYT or Termi could probably give you a better answer as to why it happens than I can, so I'll just leave it up to them.. hehe
