Answer
Hi
My advice would be to take it to either a repair facility that offers free Diagnostic scans (Meineke, Midas, Pepboys..) or parts store (AutoZone, Advanced, NAPA etc...)
Have it scanned and find out EXACTLY which cylinder(s) are misfiring. From that point you'll be able to diagnose either fire, fuel or mechanical cause for misfire.
Could be a coil, injector, Ignition module, any related wiring or mechanical (piston, valve train etc...)
I hope this helps.
Please feel free to follow back post if needed.
Good Luck
