    Will run all day at 70-80 mph on motorway but missfires when I put foot down
    to overtake. It has the same symptoms as a carburettor with a punctured
    accelerator valve diaphragm. Symptoms seem worse after overrun then happens
    during acceleration.

    Anybody had similar symptoms or can you suggest fault?

    So do you mean a misfire or a flat spot?

    I'd go for a HT lead replacement, having had similar problems on my
    X20XEV Omega.

    Thanks me140,

    I meant misfire - like running out of petrol?!

    Thanks airsmoothed.

    Your suggestion sounded credible. I have just bought and fitted a new set of
    leads..................................problem sorted!
