Ford Escape Engine Misfire

Since I posted this, I added a quart of Marvel Mystery Oil to the crankcase - nothing else. And since it has been getting worse the last couple weeks, but after I added the oil it actually seems to be getting better. No miracle cure, but it seems to be doing better. Any ideas of what this could mean? Sticky valves? Clogged lifters? Any way to diagnose this or fix it if it is the problem?
