Default DLE 30 misfire at full throttle

Sunday after cranking my plane and warming up, I went to full throttle to clear it out and it started misfiring and the servos started going crazy.
What should I check?

With those symptoms, I’d suspect a loose plug cap or a cap that has a bad internal insulator. Has the cap recently contacted anything hard like the ground? I’d also inspect the plug lead for damage.

This started after bolts came out of 2 of the stand offs in flight. engine was moving around pretty good before I got it on the ground. Fixed everything and tried this past weekend and this all started. I'll check plug cap

If you look up in the cap and the silicone insulator appears dark in color or black, I would automatically change the cap. The vibration could have easily damaged the cap or cable. Cap is about $10 from many different sources such as VV, Mile High, CH, etc.
