 1JZ-GTE Missing Erratically

What's the general consensus on an engine that misses? Sometimes I cold start the car and it sounds like a lawn mower. cloud of black smoke, rev's like a 2 stroke.
Other times it will just start normally. However, in warm cruising it often misses a few beats now and then. Under boost it doesn't seem to miss though (if it isn't already idling like a 2 stroke).
I have NGK BKR6E with 0.8mm gap, they are fairly new. I'm running a MicroTech LTX12. It runs rich at idle.
My guess is it has to be the spark plugs not gapped properly or fouled (what would cause it to foul, oil on them?) or coil pack moving around. I think I've tracked it down to number 4 cylinder. I did think it was an injector not firing as jiggling the wires stopped it from missing, but the unburnt fuel would say otherwise.
It's really hard to pinpoint, as it only happens every now and then. I thought it could change with temperature if it was sparkplugs, or vibrations moving the coilpacks if that was the problem. All I can really do is jiggle wires, or jiggle the coilpack if it happens again.
