The rev limiter did step in. The Park/Neutral rev limited on a 03 PT is 3,980 RPM. The only way to get past that is to reprogram the ECM. Now on to the miss. How many miles on the car? Any modifications? Any maintenance?

Thanks Dartman, that did cross my mind for a second.
It got 70k on the odo, no mods, no major maintenance -
except for a oil change
Bought the car about a year ago.
The europeen version of the PT came with a timing chain for the -03 models,
if I´m not missinformed. It´s a 4 valve engine.
Have been considering the plugwires, coil and plugs, but since it missfires only when warm and not all of the time either I´m not sure of the ignition theory.
