Default 8v 2.0 Dohc '92 Sierra Engine problem!

I have a 8v 2.0 dohc '92 Sierra engine with a downdraft webber carb, it runs on 4 cylinders until you hard accelerate, then goes onto 3 cylinders and backfires. When you slowly ease off, you can override the problem so why is it doing this? Is it the ht side of it or is it carby side of it?
Would appreciate any feedback.

Cheers

Change the plugs, leads, rotor arm and cap, then see where you're at

The carb feeds all four cylinders so a single cylinder misfire can't be caused by the carb.
