OR
probably a dead cylinder from not having spark. :biglaugh:

happened on mine a couple of times when I washed my engine and water was in the spark plug valley.

Yeah, have you washed your motor recently? Replaced the wires? Plugs? Mods that may cause this?

Mine sounds rough like a dead cylinder, but I got my timing retarded like hell to keep me outta the throttle until a new knock sensor comes in.
