How do you know its truly a misfire?

Can you describe what is happening.

Check engine light?
Lack of power?
Stumble?

No CEL. When accelerating at 3k it stutters, hesitation & flat spot. It's not just that it fails to continue to accelerate evenly, it actually has multiple small jolts. Pretty hard to explain, the best way to describe it is a misfire until about 3.3k then everything is as normal.

It occurs until mild, moderate & full accelleration.
