Sounds like either a coil. check the windings. They are visibile by popping the hood. Coil is mounted on right side of engine up front towards accesory belt. If the windings are pushed apart,spread or corrided replace the coil.

If the coil is ok, its possible you have an 02 sensor going bad when switch from open to closed loop. It may be hard to catch but its a possibilty.

Hope this helps.
