JourneymanI'm not sure what work you have done to your car but intermittent missing sounds like ignition trouble. If you haven't addressed the ignition now is the time. Try spark plugs and wires. When you take out plugs it may be apparent that they are bad

MasterIgnition misfire problems will duplicate these problems. Cylinders that miss will cause low power, rough idle, and when does get to highway speed the cylinder miss can be masked unless is very prevalant. Long time since tune components changed will be source of these problems.
