I purchased an 03 Disco SE7 that had sat for a couple of years with a blown head gasket at #5 cylinder. I did both heads and replaced the lifters etc. It sounds and runs great except for intermittent misfire codes on cylinders 3 & 5 and sometimes a random misfire code. I thought it may be sticky injectors after sitting for so long with old gas in it and put Sea Foam additive in 2 consecutive tanks of gas, but this has not helped. Any suggestions??

Spark plugs and wires?

If they haven't been done, do em... sitting that long definitely didn't help their aging. That number 5 spark plug could be funked up from the head gasket problem.

Plugs and wires are new. Forgot to mention that.

Also didn't mention that it only seems to run a bit rough and trigger the CEL when the engine is at idle. Usually when stopped at a traffic light or when waiting for traffic so I can make a turn.
