I have just had exactly the same problem with my 2.5 ZT. A diagnostic plug in (not as good as a T4) showed which pot the misfire was on and so I replaced that plug and coil pack as a starter. Cured immediately So then went on to replace the rest of the plugs as a matter of keeping a matched set. You can measure the gaps with a feeler gauge set bought at any half decent auto shop. (I dont know if the 1.8 has individual coil packs like my KV6 engine!) When you have the T4 plug in, it will tell all.
