I can't help with the valve question, but on the miss I would suspect the ignition coil in the distributor. Because you say it only happens when the car is warmed-up. That suggests expansion of the coil expanding to a problem point under the heat. Could also be the ignition control unit in the distributor. I replaced my distributor with an Autozone unit and got a warranty and solved a similar problem. Hope that helps.
