Glad your problem is fixed. For what its worth:
1. Might have contributed to the problem but if they changed the timing chain these should have been done as part of the job.
2. The platinum plugs on an S2000 are not supposed to be re-gapped. Sounds like a red herring.
3. Possibly the cause. But the ecu should have recorded a misfire which they would have picked up in their diagnostics.
I suspect that what you had wasn't a misfire at all and was MAP related. An ecu reset can clear it as can disconnecting the MAP and reconnecting it.
Hopefully the problem is fixed long term.

Good to know.
I do hope the misfire doesn't come back so I can get a few more years out of my little 'S'.
