so it does it while cruising, can you make it worse when it happens by opening the throttle ?

have the throttle position sensor tested as this could be the problem but failing that would need more info to be able to help

yes,when i open the throttle the car starts to misfire,then after a few seconds as i accelerate the car runs fine.sometimes on normal driving the car doesnt seem to be very responsive but picks up after a few seconds.
