Check the maf sensor and then plugs/dis pack

[tunnie]

does it run smooth at idle?

[matt leadbetter]

it does

[albitz]

Checked the plug well for oil ?

[tunnie]

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

[matt leadbetter]

there is oil in at least one of the wells what paper clip test

[tunnie]

details here on paper clip test:

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 

[matt leadbetter]

cheers buddy i will try that tomorrow

[tigers_gonads]

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 
update your profile too show where you are mate 
they maybe a member close to you who could help

I was just going to ask where you are

[tigers_gonads]

too slow

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
