Answer
Kornell,

Check the intake hose from the air meter to the throttle body and see if you have small cracks.  These can cause the misfire as can the distributor being defective.  The shop or you can check the switching of the distributor with a meter or you can take the inner cover off and look for the presence of oil on the optical pickup.
