There are still minor blips when idling the engine, though. I am thinking it might have to do with a generally cold engine, or I might need to replace the coil packs. But, the actual misfires have stopped.

Also, there was a gasket leak, and that was replaced, but I do not think the gasket had anything to do with the misfires.

Which Gasket? Depending on the gasket, it could cause a vacuum leak which in turn can cause misfires.
