Like EclipseTurbo said, check the basic things first, any sensors or tune-up items that are not within spec can cause misfires, sparks, poor performance, you name it. As just about anyone can vouch for on this board, it is extremely rare for stock lifters on a virtually stock car to blow-out. Considering I don't know the history of the car it's hard to tell why it happened. I'm not saying it isn't your problem as well, just not too likely is all.

In any case it is an easy thing to check quick and all you need to do is look at the valvetrain. If a lifter is blown-out, the rocker arm that rides underneath the cam will no longer be in place because one end is supposed to be connected to the lifter that's wasted. It's pretty hard to miss once the vc is off. You could also check your plugs and if one shows lean and the other three a pretty good burn, that is also an indicator to the disfunctional valve problem.
