Do you think that could be causing the misfire? Funny you mention that because my brake pressure has been kind of weird and it even sounds kind of like air when I press on the brake. I figured I'd...

So far the fuel filter might have done the trick. I haven't drove the car in two days but will later today. Hopefully it is still fine.

So far no light came on and smooth ride. The tricky part about this situation is that even before I changed the filter and plugs it didn't happen every single time. It happens randomly.

I changed the fuel filter. U guess I have to start checking this one by one until I figure out the problem.

I am planning to run it for a little to see if the problem continues.
