Misfire in all 4 cyclinders hmmm...... compression tester check compression 125psi is good 100 and lower is bad (head gasket they go bad) if that is good, do fuel filter,, or charge system is bad, or bad ground or bad coil

Sounds like a bad PCV valve or bad EGR valve. replace the PCV valve ( about $10) locate and watch the EGR valve .. it should move up and down when you rev the engine.. spray the shaft with WD40 if its sluggish or stuck.. it may help.

Check engine light and cruise lights came on simultaneously.

Sound like the O2's heater circuit may not be working, that will set a code. I am not a big fan of univeral O2's, too many problems with bad connections and the check engine lights coming back on. You may need to use a OEM type sensor to keep the light off.
