Got a strange problem just need suggestions or even solution

so in 3 rd gear at 30 if i put my foot down it coughs and splutters it does this in 4 th at 40 and 5th at 50 mph these are allr around 2000 - 2500 rpm
no eml has come up or anything

probably plugs or leads they normally cause missfire under load if they start tracking out.

would change the plugs, and if its got them dizzy cap and rotor. Probably do leads as well if they look ropey.

from what laurence was telling me today i think doing a big service would be a good idea along with having the wiring looked at.
