An engine miss above 3500 rpm's, often without an accompanying valve train noise, could be caused by a broken camshaft lobe. If normal diagnostics
fail to pinpoint the source of the miss, and the miss is isolated to the number 2 cylinder, inspect the 4th lobe back from the front of the camshaft for being
broken.
