Default 1996 lambda light issue

I have a 1996 20valve 2.5 auto and would like to know what I can do to stop the lambda light coming on. The code says it is a misfire. I have changed plugs, ht leads and given everything a clean. I cancel the light and within a week it usually comes back on most often on starting up.

What plugs are you using? If they are not OEM or Copper, they will cause issue.
