Well, this seemed to work. Used the spray can and followed the video procedures. Still got quite a few misfires right afterwards, but drove around a bit and they stopped. Have cold started a couple of times since then and no misfires reported.I think that indicates it was a sticking valve issue, just need to see if it comes back. Since the Hummer isn't a daily driver, sitting up seems to cause it to misfire more.

Thanks for the help!

I only average around 3k miles per year, however I only use top tier fuel, I also keep the oil clean with a quality full synthetic oil, and keep the air filter clean. If you ever experience a performance issue in the future, you now know where to start.
