Default Misfire/ stuck revs...thinking gap in plugs??

Hey all, got a problem going up revs mostly in 2nd, felt like a dead spot or something not firing so changed plugs to new ngk grade 6 plugs, still no joy. Have also reset ECU.
Happens when in 2nd when coming up to about 2k revs. Sticks at 2k even with foot to floor chuggs a bit then a second or so kicks on in. Even if i lift off and back on juice and sort of pump accelarator it hesitates then kicks in . Was thinking fuel pump, then ones said gap in the plugs might be wrong and def sounds like misfring problem, Any ideas or same problems? Seriously bugging me. Cheers
