First isolate which cylinder is misfiring by pulling off the ht lead using insulated gloves,then you can see which one is not working or making a difference,then substitute a spark plug or lead or injector to see if you can move the fault,also compression check just in case there is a compression issue.I would not go needlessly flushing your coolant as it,s definitely nothing to do with this misfire issue.

Can you see any discolouration on the plugs maybe ones fouled up or darker than the others this may give a clue as to which cyl.the fault is happening.

Do a compression test this will let you know if it,s mechanical fault.
