Here is the rub with all this though. the misfires are not constant, that are sporadic. sometimes get a lot of them, sometimes it's 30+ seconds in between misfires
I'm not great here either.

It could very well be a break in the wire with the broken ends close enough together. Somtimes it gets continuity, sometimes it doesn't. Temperature and engine vibrations would contribute to the problem. So would a short between two wires rubbing against each other in the harness. The latter is harder to diagnose because a continuity test would still show continuity. If you're lucky in that case you'd find voltage on a wire that's not supposed to have it, then that would indicate a short somewhere. Besides that, you'd have to cut the harness open and check each wire for a break in the jacket.

I've been following this thread and I empathize with you. Electrical gremlins are a PITA to solve. Hopefully at worst you just have a break in the wire and not a short.
