Missing Help

Took off from a stop sign 3/4plus throttle and went to get back in it and started having a miss. No water in oil or water or leaks best I can tell. Headgasket is okay I think. Had about 1/8th tank of fuel put low fuel light wasn't on. What would cause it to run fine and then miss real bad???? Timing sliped or injector gone bad. It runs better in higher rpm. I dont have any unusual temps or smoke. No white smoke. Any Ideas ?? What are symptoms of a bad injector. PS 210k miles.

1/8 of a tank, you might have sucked garbage off the bottom your tank. These guages aren't that great; you might have been running out of gas when it sloshed around too.

do a cut out test on it real quick, see if there is a change is rpm and sound when you crack each line. if you crack a line and there is no change is sound or rpm, start by checking that cylinder.

Could of very possibly did that because it fixed its self last night on the way to my friends shop. I laid into it one good time and it smoothed right out and has been funning fine ever since. Is it possible for an injector to stay open/closed and then work agin or did I just push the trash though?? Anyways back to normal knock on wood.
