Have you checked the brushes on your voltage regulator? When mine wore out a few years ago, the car had some similar drivability problems which I attributed to the ecu getting inadequate voltage. With the electronics out of tolerance, the fuel mixture wasn't regulated correctly, and some funky black smoke started pouring out of the tailpipe as the car sputtered and gasped.
The brushes are spring-loaded, and when they wear down they can lose and/or regain good contact through temperature variations and vibration. My gut instinct is that an intermittant problem like this has something to do with a poor electrical connection.
