What driving conditions does it misfire? Cruising, heavy load?
What do your plugs look like?

My car is kinda doing the same thing, i might try to replace the fuel filter, i bought a cap-rotor kit but i cant get the screw outa my rotor

BTW thanks for actually giving results. half the time people never come back and say what fixed the problem.
