Ive got an 03 and I had the same problem a year ago except in cylinder three. what we found is that one of the butterfly screws in the intake manifold worked its way out and went into the cylinder and banged around, lucky for me it must of fired out the tailpipe cause there was no sign of it in the head or the rest of the engine. As a result i have random multiple cylinder misfires that are completely random as in the car runs great for a month and then one day when idleing it sets the cel, then its good for another month.

Your butterfly screw is the problem. You better do it asap, and make sure that the screw that was bouncing around is gone or you will go through spark plugs.
