What does the check engine light on my 1997 Toyota Tercel mean?

My 1997 Tercel has the check engine light on. The mechanic says that the codes it's throwing are random misfire or piston 1 misfire. We have replaced all spark plugs, wires, both coil packs, and the cam shaft sensor and the car is still misfiring it seems ONLY when idling and runs smooth once driving. I have no idea what to do at this point and i'm out of money. Spent about 600 on this already and smog and registration is due in a week. Any idea what is wrong here? I've seen the check engine flash for a few seconds twice in the past couple months. I hear that a flashing light is really bad :(
