95 Engine Misfires/Oil Light

Hello, all.

Whenever I start my 95 SE, the oil light comes on for 15-30 secs, then goes off and is silent for the rest of the trip. Whenever I exceed 50 MPH, the engine misfires violently with slight acceleration. This happened in November, the mechanic replaced the spark plugs, all was well for three weeks. The engine began misfiring again upon light acceleration at any and all velocities after that. The engine also began idling very violently. The engine light finally came on a couple of days ago, and I took the car in again. This guy replaced a cylinder, fixed a transmision fluid leak and flushed the power steering fluid (for whatever these are worth). The idling problem is gone, but the oil light continues to show during the first thirty seconds after ignition, and the engine still misfires over 50, though not nearly as severely.

Any more ideas?
