Going on what you have said, it seems the misfire is caused by an ABS signal suggesting that wheel spin is occuring and downing the power. (Or is that just an omega TC feature?)

You need a decent code reader that can check ABS/Traction control systems to see what fault is causing the issue,could be as simple as a dodgey sensor
