Default 4x4 Cos Misfire

I've got a misfire. It only comes in further up the rev range.

The car has a stage three set up with switchable boost between 10 and 23 psi.

When on 10psi the car stutters lightly at around 5500rpm - not very noticable.

When on 23psi the car stutters heavily from 4000rpm onwards - very noticable.


Any suggestions?


My thoughts were;
1. Spark being blown out
2. Crank sensor faulty


Cheers,
Pete.

Also forgot to mention, maybe not related but once the car is up to temp the fans come on and stay on until I switch car off.

Then give the crank sensor a good clean.
