Default well I would start cheap....

first...put the plug from cylinder 1 into another cylinder and see if the misfire follows. If not, do the same with a coilpack. If it doesn't follow the coil pack, it could be your ignition control module.

As far as fuel, check your fuel filter, see if its clogged. Run some techron through there, maybe something is gummed up. Don't just throw parts at the car thinking that will fix your problem

Default I had this happen a few times...

For one I ran out of fuel, did you do that??

Second, my MAF was dirty, so I cleaned it.

Third, I replaced my O2 sensors, problem solved.
