I call it a miss as it will sputter,backfire and deaccelerate while attempting to climb hills. Again, this was near the end of a 3 1/2 hour trip. No problems while driving locally or short trips.I call it a miss as it will sputter,backfire and deaccelerate while attempting to climb hills. Again, this was near the end of a 3 1/2 hour trip.

if your engine had a miss u would have a check engine light, (no exceptions) suggest u have this put on a diagnostic tester at the dealer.if your engine had a miss u would have a check engine light, (no exceptions) suggest u have this put on a diagnostic tester at the dealer.

Hi Dwight, It would help to know more about your problem. What vehicle are you referring to? When does the backfire occur, during acceleration, deceleration, at a cruise speed, at idle? It would also help to know what vehicle, what engine and what fuel type? Regards John
Have you checked the fuel pressure under a load, low pressure will cause these symptoms. The test port is on the top of the engine in the fuel supply rail to the fuel injectors, the fuel pressure test port looks like a large tire fill valve. You will need a fuel pressure test gauge to do this test (about $20), the pressure must be watched while you accelerate, it should never go down on hard acceleration just up about 6-8 PSI
No check engine light on. Replaced plugs but not wires.

MAF sensor has already been replaced.
Coils have been checked and told they were ok.
