Default What are some causes of misfires?

I did an Autotap run this weekend and noticed that i'm getting as high as 12 misfires on some cylinders, while between 2 - 4 misfires are the most common among most of the cylinders. This is looking at the AutoTap parameter "Current Misfire Cyl #" for each cylinder.

First thing that came to mind were the spark plugs and/or plug wires, however they're fairly new (less then 2K miles using NGK TR55's and MSD's). Other then plugs/wires what else could cause "misfires"? Thanks!
