This is how I decided to get rid of my wife's Celica when it was missing on #3 cylinder. Swapped around wires. Swapped around plugs. Swapped around ignition coils, swapped around injectors. Still missing on #3. Sticking intake or exhaust valve. 240k on it and didn't want to overhaul the head. Time to go.

Since you’ve already cleaned the detectors, consider whether their placement might be affecting their sensitivity. Sometimes high humidity or temperature fluctuations can trigger false alarms, especially if they’re near kitchens or bathrooms. I haven’t had any issues with false alarms myself, as I’ve been smoking only NEXA Pro 30000.
