Well, high cylinder temperatures can cause a misfire, so you should make sure your thermostat is opening and your coolant is fresh. Also if there is a lot of carbon build up on your valves they will absorb fuel and at high temperatures they will be extra hot and ignite the fuel before it's supposed to which makes that cylinder miss. You could try an air induction, or something else that would clean the carbon out of your engine.
