    3b miss firing under load

    fine upto 3000rpm then miss fire
    intermittent, clears after a mile or so, then comes back again ( after hard braking or cornering)
    wondering if its fuel related ( run low when happened, just in the red zone)
    temp etc fine at the time, pulls really well rest of time
    all hoses intact, was wondering if fuel as pump is noisy

    When ever I have had a miss fire with my 3B s2 it has been down to the ignition system , a burnt out rotor arm once and most recently the spark plugs mainly the tips of the plugs had burn and the gaps were way to much new plugs and problem sorted could also be ht leads
    never set your expectations to high that way you are never disapointed

        The fuel gauge may not be that accurate and it could be starving due to slosh?

        I would still check the other suggestions as a matter of course.
