Check the maf sensor and then plugs/dis pack

Checked the plug well for oil ?
-
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
-
cheers buddy i will try that tomorrow
-
if you have oil in there then the cam covers have gone :(
clean your breathers out and you might have too replace the plug leads >:(

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.

I will update my profile now
