im getting a bad misfire only when the car is warmed up, and mostly when the car is in low RPMs (under 2k) and slightly under WOT). any experience/suggestions before i start tearing into things??

Barrow a coil from a friends car and rotate it from one cylinder to the next until you find the bad coil.
