Default Something a miss?!?

After spending a lot of dosh at an auto sparks, i have a slight misfire still, but only sometimes.

If i put my foot down 3/4 of the way, the car will redline no probs, but if i have it flat on the floor it will only rev to 5k then cough and splutter.

Anyone have any ideas what causes this??

First thought is the TPS as i cant c why else it would do it.....has anyone else experienced similar problems??

check the wiring plug for the phase sensor, then check the phase sensor and crank sensor too

have you checked the plug gaps, could be the boost on full chat blowing the spark out.
