engine misses 850 1996

Hi all, my NA 850 misses intermittently sometimes on light throttle, sometimes heavy throttle (but will sometimes clear itself on backing of, off course other times will go right on missing). I thought it would be my fuel filter ( due replacement especially after running with a low fuel level last week). I have scoured various posts here at the BB and other forums as well. WOW, it seems a lot of people with a similar problem, yet no one finger pointed at a particular cause . A lot of opinions expressed relate to turbo models only, yet the problem seems to be a common issue. Klaus mentions the O2 sensor a bit. Is there a test i can do for this? I dont have access to a code reader or any fancy equipment. Is there a logical sequence of checks and cleaning of parts to follow to isolate my problem? Also could the knock sensor cause an issue such as this? I realise this is a light post compared to some others, but i need to start somewhere and with a basic check list. Thanks for listening. David
