If this is after a cold start or warm start after a short drive you may have to remove the rotor adapter bracket to disclose the insulator and the cam seal condition. Check wire connector resistance, and gap plugs to 1.0. Do not use antiseize on plugs and make sure they are proper for the car - dont get super chrome crazy hot plugs. Get the MB plugs for the car, expose the gap to 1.0, and torque to 25nm.

Search the forum for all of this, you will find your circumstance well documented.
 
A bad O2 sensor shouldn't cause this, and you cannot clean it. If the O2 sensor is very old or original, it should be replaced (search the forum). They are usually good for 100kmi / 150kkm or more.

If the car runs normally some of the time, your injectors are probably fine, no need to replace them. If you can get your injectors serviced (cleaned / flow tested) by a professional injector repair shop, you could do that, but don't expect any change.

If your misfire occurs about 10-20 minutes after a cold start, and goes away after 30-60 minutes, it's likely due to moisture in the distributor caps and/or oil leaks from the exhaust cam sprocket seal, and/or intake cam advance solenoid. Click here for more info.

If your misfire occurs all the time when warm, you may have one or more failing / defective secondary ignition components. How old are your caps / rotors/wires/plugs? Etc.

Might be the same problem shown here with leaking injectors. You'll need to get them replaced / repaired:

 
If you are located in Bahrain, I don't know what local suppliers to recommend...
 
Can you first read the codes??
I had something similar last year or 2 years ago, when the car was, sluggish on acceleration, and It turned out to be the Camshaft position sensor!!
Also, if your distributor caps and rotors are original, and they definitely need to be changed!! Humidity will cause misfire and these engine.
I replaced mine 3 months ago, as it was misfiring when the car was not fully warm.

Spark plugs replacement takes 30 minutes if you take your time.... It's super easy to do.
Make sure to buy Copper plugs (not platinum, not iridium)
