The miss, is it throwing any codes? If not, I'd just start with a basic tuneup. Change the distributor cap and rotor (use Bosh only), spark plugs (NGK Coppers, properly gapped), plug wires (bougicord), pil and oil filter.

Other things that can also cause a miss is bad or dirty injectors, bad engine coolant temp sensor, and a few other items.

I agree with the above, have the codes, if there are any, would help a lot. If there aren't any codes, then just do a full tune up. Make sure you only use OEM of copper plugs. All the others will upset the engine greatly.

As for the heated seat, is the switch lighting up? Are you getting power to the seat itself?

Service manual

Gear shift bulb

Dash bulbs...follow the same basic procedure to remove the dash and console panel, then just change out the bulbs. The bulbs can be found here.

As for the other things, just search around the site, I'm sure everybody has had the same problems you've had before.
