Default acceleration prob in 3rd gear

right the problem i have is if i floor the accelerator in 1st and 2nd its fine pulls verry well but if i do the same in 3rd it dont want to know.

BUT if i feather the accelerator to the floor it pulls as strong as it will in 1st or 2nd

does it need seting up or is it something else

my car is a erst s2 2.0 zvh just to save time

misfire or fuel starvation sounds like check plugs and leads
