In your case, i do not think it's a clear. But it has to be ignition or fuel delivery. Remember, not all "misfires" are ignition. I kinda suspect yours is fuel delivery, based on how the symptom "lasts after going back to normal throttle".
But I sure do not know for sure.
When it acted up, and going back to idle, it still stayed the same rough engine malfunction and I was afraid I'd be left stranded. Has 110K miles and don't know if it has ever had a fuel filter change. Maybe I could do that but want it to fail first!
