back story: on day one I had an engine miss for 20 seconds then cleared, day 2, miss fired for about 10 minutes then cleared, day 3 miss didn't clear.  replaced coil paks, plugs and leads. No miss for about 5klm then back to missing. Pscan said #2 solenoid in the Hydraulic cam control failed, replaced the unit, car ran for 6klm then back to miss. Did the plug lead off test, #1 cylinder problem.  Compression test gives #1 at 20lbs and all others at 160lbs.  Put a camera down the spark plug hole and 1 valve just hanging open. Replaced cam sensor, car drives OK for 5 klm then back to miss.  Compression test now has all cylinders at 175lbs EXCEPT #3, number1 is OK!  Cam angle sensor replaced, car drives until miss comes back 4klm into drive.  Now #2 has no compression  and ALL other cylinders at 175lbs! I am now waiting for an O2 sensor and mail to Australia is a bit slow at the moment.  Any suggestions?  And to keep with the level of frustration, the laptop with the Pscan diagnostic software has died too.
