Maybe clean out the throttle body? Probably has Carbon in there that could also trap some pwr steering fluid residual. I don't know, just assuming.

I also noticed that your pwr steering fluid looks Bluish/clear. You don't use ATF fluid?

Ah okay. Only thing left are the plugs. Just be careful with those fragile injector clips.

Drove the car aggressively for apprx. 3 hours without turning it off. Misfire cleared itself, no more shaking or vibrations. I guess all that junk burned off. I'm still planning on doing the plugs but for now all is well
