The Powertrain Warning light came on today whilst on the motorway......pulled over and turned engine off to check what light meant, car then restarted fine no light.......I do get an intermittent misfire when power is lifted when at 60 mph+

Any ideas?

Hello,

Lets run the codes to see what comes up It sounds like you have a misfire which I would start with a tune up for. Here are two guides to help get us started.

and

Don't forget to disconnect the battery before you service the throttle body.

Please run down these guides and report back.
