So, I replaced it. dont know if that was the cause, but the engine has been running fine ever since. So, maybe at the higher speed, the vaccum line started to vibrate and the leak caused the misfiring. Thats all I can assume. Although, i find it strange that it was happening at almost the same speed and rpm everytime.
Thanks Serpico1! Although my descent into the 'rabbit hole' of 4.3L engine misfire causes has just begun, knowing what others have observed & done is very valuable. 'Tribal Knowledge' can be more useful than that of ASE Experts. To paraphrase Tom Magliozzi, 'Do 2 people who don't know anything, know more than one expert who doesn't know anything?' .... I think the answer is yes!
