How many miles on the engine? Other things to consider:
1. Fuel injector. Swap the injector from the misfiring cylinder with another one and see if the misfire follows to that cylinder. You can also use a "noid light" to be sure that you are receiving a pulse from the computer to fire that injector.
2. Internal engine issue. Perform a compression test on all cylinders and compare misfiring cylinder compression to other cylinders

Please make sure you post all of the codes and correctly. I'm assume you meant P0301 and not P3301.
