Default still not running good

changed head gasket, timing belts, oxygen sensor,
Car should be running good.
changed the o2 sensor because of code and timed it last night.
when driving it has a bad miss and jerks alot then smooths out and runs fine then starts missing/jerking again.

What did I do wrong or forget to do????

intake air leak?, loose timing belt?bad igniter??

Sounds like a ground or vacuum problem. Does it happen at the same speed, temp, gear?

Fouled Spark Plug?
Marginal Ignition Cable?

Will the engine do this either at or just above idle?
