Miss on Decel

OK guys, schools in session.

When I'm driving with high accelerator levels, and then abruptly get off the accel and coast, it sounds like one (or more) of the cylinders is missing. This is different than the popping or 'burble' often heard on decel. This is in the firing of the cylinders and sounds like an Indy car driving through the pits-- which if I'm correct uses a limiter function that causes a 'miss' in order to moniter pit speeds. Sounds cool, but I haven't noticed it before in the Midget and am curious what's going on in the inards. It does it for about 3-5 secs, or whn power re-applied. What do you think? Missing due to lots of fuel/low demand or a valve sticking?
