Misfire is usually due to a failure in the ignition system, it would be best to start there. The fuel system (fuel pump and filter would be the last place I would look).

Spark plugs are an obvious candidate. Also, do you have a check engine light on? Can you read the OBD codes, they can tell you if a sensor has failed and remove the guesswork.
