1999 honda accord 4 cyl vtec 130000
i had error codes read, said the engine is missfireing, I changed the plugs and wires. Next thing I was told to check was the egr valve, and the fuel filter. Found out there is no fuel filter to change, but there is a pump. And then was told I shouldnt do this myself. Is it that bad? The car runs but it shakes bad. Please any help out there?

Misfires can be caused by worn or fouled spark plugs, a weak spark (weak coil, bad spark plug wire), loss of compression, vacuum leaks, anything that causes an unusually lean fuel mixture (lean misfire), an EGR valve that is stuck open, dirty fuel injectors, low fuel pressure, or even bad fuel.

Well I changed the egr valve, no dice. Ill check the compression and fuel pressure. If its the compression, what would be my next step?
