I had a similar miss that was caused by a leaf that had gotten into the
tank.  It would be pulled against the pickup by fuel flow and cause the
engine to lose power on all cylinders, as opposed to a miss.  When I either
got off the gas pedal or shut the engine down the leaf would apparently
fall away from the pickup and everything would be fine until the leaf was
once again pulled against the pickup, etc. etc.

I empirically came up with this theory after I pulled the fuel sender,
searched around in the tank with a flashlight and found the leaf, and after
I removed it the miss went away.  How the leaf got into the tank when the
fuel filler is inside the boot is a larger issue I never figured out.
