I agree with him... try swapping your ignition coils around and see if the misfire moves to a different cylinder..... and if it doesn't your not out any more $$$

A used AutoTAP or old EFILive scan tool would do you a
lot of good right now. There's too much stuff going on to
just go stab at it blind.

^^i agree, you cant just go replacing things thats going to make a big hole in your wallet.What i suggest its try to get a scanner also just check for basic things like, if wire are on correct,no bad grounds,clean fuel filter.

If you have a timing light, You can hook it up to your battery and then hook it up to each individual spark plug and pull the trigger and see if each plug is firing. Just an idea.

Its a quick and easy, I would do that. I know in the past, with the TA and some other vehicles I have had, it has done that and a new fuel filter has fixed it. It only takes one bad fill up.

You throwin any codes?

Same thing was happening to me and when I hooked it up to the computer, it was telling me that it was the O2 sensors. I bought the sensors and took it to my cousin's shop so he could replace them. He took a look at it and ended up being the damn fuel pump. I learned not to always trust diagnostics results more than a good mechanic.
