Sounds to me like fuel delivery issue. If i am correct this engine has the injector unit inside the intake manifold. When the engine needs the extra fuel for accel or loads it just isnt there. You are going to have to do a fuel drop test to determie if the correct amount of fuel is being released for the amount of time the injector is open.

SOURCE: random/multiple cylinder misfire

if you have done the basics of replacing plugs and wires,
what I found on a dodge that was doing the same thing,
I could watch the misfires happening on the scanner but the engine wasn't missing,turned out to be dirt and things floating in the fuel rail and partially plugging the screens on the injectors.

1995 4.3 MISSING WHEN WARMED UP

Is the check engine light on? An OBD II code P0300 - Random/Multiple Cylinder Misfire Detected could indicate a bad crank position sensor causing a misfire. Another possibilty would be the coil or distributor cap. The 95 and 96 were notorious for burning distributor caps. My 96 used to burn one once a month which is why Chevrolet stopped using them and went to multiple coils. More information would be helpful in diagnosing the problem

My 1999 Chevy Astro has a miss at low acceleration, but when you smash it to the floor, it takes off like a rocket (squeals rubber). It ran great when I replaced the distributor (6 months ago), but now if...

The first thing to check is for bad sparkplug wires, this sounds like its misfiring, is the check engine light on? if the light is on then have the computer scanned for codes if there are codes then the code will tell you what cylinders are misfiring, i would also remove the cap and check it to make sure its still good and not wet or cross firing. the most common reason for this is mostlikely due to worn or arcing wires, start with that. good day.

I have a 1999 Chevy Blazer 4.3 . It is running bad . I used an OBD II scanner and it pulled up a PO300 code which suggests a Laundry list of things that could be wrong . ...

p0300 should be multiple missfire. check for compression these engines tend to bend valves very easily if ran on old gas or a batch of bad gas. causing it to missfire in more than one cylinder. they also crack heads between valves if overheated.

Intermittent misfiring

Had the same thing. The didtributor was going bad. Lived with it for a few months finally it died. 1 year after replacing the distributor the problem started again. Glad I got a warranty on the distributor. Running great now on the second distributor.
