Back to basics... check for fuel and spark on the non-firing side. This will narrow it down.

when running right heat doesn't work when misfiring heat works fine
Check the Catalitic Converter on the side of the missfire. If the CAT on that side is blocked it will cause the down stream oxygen sensor to switch between 200 and 800 mV instead of a steady 450 to 500 mV. The Engine's ECU will register this and to prevent the over fueling of the cylinders on that bank of cylinders the ECU will then switch those injectors off. I had this problem with a F150 in Namibia
