Im having the exact same problem. Im going to clean plugs and or change em in the morning, or dry em out, which ever it may be. But also im getting a whining noise from the petrol pump i think...........maybe sucking air???
About that noise u were on about, i also get it when the car does that kangerooing kinda motion, form the engine bay somewhere, sounds like a tinny bang????

That isnt classed as missing then though is it? 
Missing is when it fires and the engine runs (even if it sounds like a box of nails) but the timing isnt spot on, i.e combustion is happening too early or too late creating noises and rough running

yeh if that was the case it wouldnt start at all .i was just saying you can have a miss fire but for it to run with 3 cyllinders miss firing would be very unlikely.
