Does it do it everytime you accelerate?it could be a fuel problem.

Maybe a plugged catalytic converter? I would think it would do this more often though if that was the case...

Have you rechecked the torque on the manifold attaching bolts/nuts? Might not be the cause, but it's a possible source of a vacuum leak causing lots of issues. JMO

Thanks for suggestions, there is on cat , checked for vac leaks none, dose not do it every time driven. It will also go into this miss fire no power if I rev the ergine to hi prms in neutral and let return to idle. I have to re start to get it to run right again.
