Miss fire when climing hill
I have a 2002 4.3l 4 dr S-10 with automatic trans.
Every time i go up a steep hill my service engine light flashes, according to the manual that means there is a miss fire. It only happends when going up a hill for a while then stops and comes back on again. What would make this happen does anyone have any idea.. I have replaced plugs, wires also put new fuel pump, and filter.. any suggestions would be helpfull.

Re: Miss fire when climing hill
P0300 DTC along with a flashing SES light is almost always caused by secondary ignition failures: Spark plugs, spark plug wires, distributor cap and rotor, ignition coil. Always use AC Delco plugs, cap and rotor in the 4.3L, they are very fussy. Put a dab of silicone dielectric grease on each terminal, inside and out, of the distributor cap. Post your results.
