CRV misfiring after hard acceleration

I accelerated really hard to get past some traffic last week. Immediately after doing that my CRV started misfiring on acceleration. It's ok if I accelerate gently but if I put my foot down it misfires. I changed the spark plugs and it was ok again for a short while but the problem soon came back. Does anyone have any ideas about what the cause might be?

It's a Mk2 (2006) 2ltr petrol with auto transmission.

Thanks.

Did you perform a compression test when you changed your plugs?
How many miles on the engine?
Did you happen to see how far you reved the engine when you "accelerated hard"
I didn't perform a compression test, I don't have the tools for that.

It's done 166,000 miles. I'd guess I revved it to about 5k or 6k but I'm not sure exactly.
