That sounds more like a spark issue. Have you pulled the plugs and checked them?

But how do they look? All even color, and correct, or are you actually seeing them wet, like the car is really rich? Could be a bad first O2 if the plugs don't seem to make a difference.

Do you have a aftremarket car alarm installed.
If so they are known to cause random misfires due to the mechanical relay in them chattering from vibration and causing misfires.
