Have you actually checked the wires? There can be a short in there causing this. But since you changed everything else, the only thing i can think of is the wires to it or you have something wrong with the piston, but that is a long shot

Could it be a fuel injector/fuel filter?

it could. Wouldnt hurt to take the car to have the injectors cleaned and replace the filter.

Im not sure if this matters but I only feel the misfires it seems while its idleing.

I can see the rpms bounce a little.

Does your car have an ingition control module? If so, that is likely the problem
