bad coil would be my guess. 2.4 often have problems with coils and icm's because of heat soak if it does turn out to be a coil either just replace it or search the neon coil swap or a 2.2 coil swap there both easy and effective.

If my memory serves me right its 1 2 and 3 4. But before u start changing coils, look at the plastic piece (under the metal cover) that connects to the spark plugs, I know those things are very prone to cracking and causing misfires, mostly at the bottom near the spark plugs themselfs. If that's not cracked, then its the coils. Goodluck!
