if you have a genuine 'mist at idle' .. like very clearly One Cylinder is not contributing power at idle, that's usually very easy to find. if on the other hand you mean 'runs a little uneven/irregular at idle, that's a little trickier.. d Dd you pull one spark plug wire at a time while it's idling , to find the Offending Cylinder ? that's always a GREAT and EASY test to do. if you have not done that yet... well... that's like 'basic' .. or........... sure, just throw parts at it. seriously ...if it really a 'miss' on one cylinder at idle.. it's super easy to isolate which cylinder it is .. and that helps a lot towards identifying what the real problem. there's no substitute for hands-on inspection and examination, and all the tests you can do. what's the compression for example ?
