I have an 03 zr2 5spd s10 4.3 poor performance runs good on level ground but when you start up a hill it falls on its face but its like u take your foot off the gas and if you down shift and run hard like around 3500 to 4000 rpm ses light will flash and engine will get a dead miss but when u level out the miss goes away and no code stored any help would be appreciated

How are the O2 sensor readings? Do you have a screen shot a voltage levels?

Can you get live data and watch the misfire counts?

I'm surprised it's not throwing a lean code. You may have a vacuum leak, may be related to P0446.

you have a "major issue" on the B2 side of things as the LTFT on that side are way different from the other side. Could be a sensor issue on that side but a graphical reading of the voltages would be easier to tell if the sensor is functional as opposed to "static" digital read out. You are going to "saturate" your cat on the B2 side if you don't quickly remedy the problem.
