Mine would run like this when a lead was loose on a plug. Would just spray some contact cleaner and she would go back to normal.

My friends pulsar does this when he swaps the leads around. Quiet funny.


Just check the coils are firing the right cylinders

ok

check injector's for solid connections
Check coils for cracks and leads for resistance
x4 ignitor modules are known for being sensitive and will shit themselves without much prodding.

Yeah mate I had the same thing happen with my 4agze and it was from water getting into the spark plug gallery, washed my engine bay and wasnt careful. So I would be checking the spark like everyone else has stated, but yes on 3 cylinders it will sound like a rexy.
