Default Rev counter jumping and then misfire

Hi,

drove today a round with the Cossie (4x4, L8, closed loop). Everything was fine and then
during acceleration, the rev counter jumped from 3000 to 5000 and 6000 and in this moment the engine started to misfire. After that the car was running fine again and then
it did it again. Driving with normal speed and easy acceleration is normal as always.

Who knows what can cause this? Maybe the phase sensor? What can i check?

Thank you!
