What is your question?
My engine is having a miss fire while accelerating, does not misfire when I take my foot off the gas, the problem seems to somewhat subside when I add fuel injector cleaner. Symptoms point too bad fuel injectors, coil pack, fuel filter. Can anyone narrow it down?

A misfire under load often indicates a secondary ignition problem (i.e., plugs, coil packs, etc.). However, I can't tell you for certain without looking at the vehicle. For a definitive answer, you'll need an in-person diagnosis from a professional. A list of reputable shops can be found here: https://repairpal.com/repair-shops
My 2012 sonic ltz started to misfire too - i'm at 125k and when the car isn't driven and parked in the garage for a few weeks it starts to spudder/misfire/no speed. I have taken it into the dealership - first they charged me a tuneup for $400 saying the plugs were bad. Now it happened again after the car was only driven a few hundred miles, but spent the last 4 weeks in the garage. Now they tell me it's about $1,300 to get a new catalyitc converter - its plugging up. bunch of crap. i'm shopping around and will drive the car around the block once per week from now on.
