Engine is misfiring check your coil packs, common issue.

^^ I agree with guitman32’s suggestion. Your problem description along with the misfire code suggests a faulty coil pack.

Don't go replacing your coil packs until you've tested them first. Unless you LIKE to blow wads of cash.

Also, it would have helped if you had posted your error code in your first post, along with the mileage on your car and any mods or recent work done.

I was surprised how fragile coil packs were after a car had 100k mileage. I tested after having the problem. --Spike
