Depending on the extent of the clog, it could cause the engine to lose power under a load or accelerating and in severe cases the engine may not run above an idle. I don't see it causing any one cylinder to missfire.

There are many reasons that contributes to engine missfire. Bad gas, faulty spark plugs, faulty plug wires, clogged fuel injectors, clogged fuel filter, dirty/clogged air filter, clogged cathalytic converter and faulty EGR.

They have an OBD system that you can plug under the dash of your car and it will indicate some of the faulty parts that maybe causing the engine missfire.
