test the systems before replacing parts, will save a lot of money this way. test the fuel pressure. if OK check vacuum system for leaks. check PCV system for proper operation. many things to test for a misfire code so its very very difficult to guess at a part and replace it to fix the problem. and the fuel filter is not going to cause a misfire in only one cylinder
