It could be a number of things including spark plugs spark plug leads timing belt rotor button air flow metre that would be tha majority of what i can think of it being if its not over heating.
Do you have trouble starting it up at all?

yeh mate just brought some top gun 12mm plug leads, iridium plugs and a k&n panel filter. alot more responsive but still missing. did an ecu reset cum up with a fault code (22) 22 Knock Sensor or Circuit (Right Side on SVX) wtf is a knock sensor?

a knock sensor sends a signal to the ecu telling it everytime it fires, if it is out, or the signal is major etc, then the ecu knows that its not firing right, and pops up with a light.

So i would assume that is not ur knock sensor seeing how you are getting a misfire. 

Personally i would start with plugs, have you put them in yet? 

Then maybe airflow metre and then the rest

Good luck and welcome to the site.

Try a second hand one, if it fixes it then keep that one till it goes, then u can replace it when/if it happens again. 

Good Luck
