Default Misfire only when 90%to100% throttle

Changed spark plugs to the NGK laser Iridium, pre-gapped at (.32) changed out the coil pack as well...

I can drive the car fine and can still put the pedal down 89% of the way but when i go wot it misfires..

It misfires/bogs/stutters down 3 times and then i have to let off the gas...

there is no check engine light for it because i havent gone wot at all because the car idles/drives fine everywhere as long as i dont...

Took it to the shop and they said my injectors were fine...

Could it be:

-vacuum leak?
-bad ground somewhere?

Have you done a compression test for cyl 3 yet...

Also, gap that plug down a bit.

do you have any logs or anything to monitor the car?

my only guess is maybe the car is running super rich and maybe the maf is dirty

He had said in a previous thread (not 100% sure why he made a new one) that he was getting a p0303.

So I can only assume that since his injectors are "fine" and he has changed plugs (unless its a more involve ignition issue) that the missfire is compression related.

Faulty spark plug
Faulty coil (pack)
Faulty oxygen sensor(s)
Faulty fuel injector
Poor compression
