There could be many reasons for this but here is a very common one.
It may have oil leaking into the distributor. When your car cools the oil drains out. When it warms up, oil is pumped back in and it begins misfiring.
If you check the codes, it will show up as the camshaft position sensor. This DOES NOT mean your distributor has gone bad.
There are two o-rings on the distributor. One is on the outside where the cap bolts on and the other is inside on the rod going into the engine.
When these o-rings come in contact with oil and heat up they begin breaking down. They start letting oil into the distributor which gets on a lens and makes the vehicle misfire.
To correct this you have to pull the distributor, clean the oil out with an electronics-safe cleaner and replace the o-rings.
