electric is like water.it finds the point of least resistence and goes there.if it has this symtom while gunning her at standstill you have a chance to locate the miss.you can put one of those cheap spark checkers on the plug line,bring up the revs and check each cylinder to see where the lite misses.then change your wire or and plug and your home.oh by the way sometimes oil can get in the plug hole and cause this as well.if you havnt changed your spark wires ang plugs for awhile i would change them.

It runs fine at steady throttle at anything below about 4000 rpm. But if the car is asked to pull an incline, even a slight one it's starts to miss randomly -but not badly; just noticeably. Also it will miss more consistently if you take the revs above 4500 under hard throttle. I don't see any loose hoses or any such thing and it has essentially new Bosch +4 plugs. Any suggestions?
