Default RSX misfire issues

I'm having some trouble with my 03 Acura RSX base. I noticed earlier this week that it started to have a rough idle, bouncing back and forth between about 750-200 rpms. Didn't think much of it at first because it happens occasionally, but then yesterday it happened and I got a check engine light. Dropped by advance and they said it had logged a random misfire on cylinders 2 and 4. Also, when at cruising speeds on the highway, if I gas it quickly the car shudders as it responds. I checked for the obvious stuff like vacuum leaks and such but didn't see anything out of the ordinary. Anybody have any ideas?
