Default Misfire or vac problem

Think I got a misfire goin on. At idle it kinda hiccups. hard to explain and not that noticeable. I got a 441 code purge valve consistently, Just clear it with my UG. Then one night I got a 306 Misfire in Cyl 6. Cleared it and it hasn't come back. Also that code was thrown after going thru about 3 feet of mud and water. But I got this hiccup at idle and also noticed a loss in power. I'm still a rookie at the DIY game.(Gettin better, before I go broke). I don't wanna start throwing plugs and wires at it cause my Bosch plus 4s are only 8 months old and i have sti 8 mm wires( from PO) Think its the vacuum leak or I guess better question to ask is where to start.

So the 441 won't cause you a misfire, the 306 is and you need to pull the plug and inspect it for damage as well as check both ends of the plug wires for a loose or dirty connection.
At your mileage, you may have a carboned up valve and or a flat spot on your cam.
