as above, take out the leads and check spark plugs for any oil or water, then do a paperclip test  :y

You need to get that oil out, that could cause miss-fire at high rpm, also check cam cover gaskets are not leaking, that will case oil to get into the wells  :y

MAF sensor (very unlikely given the conditions under which it occurs), DIS pack (spark related yes but, its now down 2 cylinders).....lets get the info we need before diving into possibles.

Anyway, the cause looks to have been pin pointed which is good.

As a hint to all.....the max spark voltage is requried when driving on a  constant throttle.....or accelerating from this condition.
