2001 blazer random misfire

When motor is cold the truck runs fine. but once it gets warm it starts to miss really bad and seems like it loses power. i changed plugs and wires and fuel filter. it starts missing around 1200 rpms. if you give it gas it****** really hard and acts like it don;t want to shift but when it does shift it shifts fine. also here clicking on the top of the motor more towards to passenger side.
