Have you or your mechanic check ground wires.  Specifically the ones that 
attach to the upper intake manifold by the throttle body.  Some may be bad.  
My car would do the same thing you are talking about until the car got to be 
almost undrivable.  The mechanic found one or more of those wires to be the 
problem.
