I would still be replacing the spark plugs cause once they have been flooded a lot won't recover with just a general clean!
Or swap the missing cylinder plug with one that is working and see if the miss shifts with the plug.

Re: my ride vt ecotec
If you havnt already remove the RW jumper from your nvram as a safety thing while your swapping stuff around so that its a lot less likely to be corrupted again. You can store it on the nvram across only 1 of the 2 RW pins.

Be a good idea to put the data in for them too. Otherwise you could introduce a new problem.
Siemens Deka 60's ran lime crap for me on stock data.
