The neutral position switch on the gear box can cause miss fire codes on all cylinders i would look at that first.

But agreed - +1 for Tidgy's comment before we start getting the usual 100+ comments about coilpacks, MAF sensors etc.

The crank shaft sensor has a habit of getting stuck, Just hope you haven't damaged the casing where it sits as thats the oil pump, Plus if it was a crank shaft sensor problem it would have came up when it was code read.
