are the revs cutting out at about 3 grand? are you throwing any codes? is your timing (both belt and ignition timing) set correctly? any recent work done to the car? we need more info

This happened to me a couple weeks ago. I wasn't getting a spark in one of the plugs. Decided to change wires and plugs. Engine is running perfect now.
