Random misfire can be ignition problem. How old are the spark plugs, what brand are they? How about the plug wires, distributor cap? (not sure if it has coil-on-plug yet in 2000?)

The sparks plugs are almost new I changed them right when it started messing up but didn't put NGK so car felt weak so I changed them again all 6 and installed NGK LASER ones and it has coils no distributor

Sounds like heat soak, the v6's in this gen had/have an issue with this due to the design of the the fuel rails/lines.

I'll see if I can find the documents on this, my guess. Lets say you run the car until it is nice and warm....shut it off. Give it 10~15 minutes and when you re-start the car this issue happens?
