Welcome! The misfiring might be caused by a bad ignition system part or parts. A tuneup should take care of this problem.

Welcome to the club!
Do you know when the last time the spark plugs and wires were changed? If those things have been changed recently then it is most likely an ignition coil, there are 4 coils each one fires two spark plugs.

Do you have the codes that came up when the mechanic scanned the computer and if you don't, is there any way you could get them?

You'll need a new ignition switch (IIRC) use the search command, this has been covered before in the 95-99 Mech and Maint forum.
As for troubles starting, bad coil packs have known to be culprits.
Oh ya, nice to have another Torontonian with us...where in TO are you?
