I had the exact same thing happen with my old VW Beetle. I tracked it down to a dodgy rotor in the distributor. It wasn't passing a charge properly, so sometimes when I tried to put some power down it just wasn't there. Got a new rotor and all was well with the world again.
If you've got a multimeter it's dead simple to check out. Warm the engine up a little first. Cold metal seems to pass a charge better so you want to level that out.
You'll have to find out what the charge is supposed to be yourself though. I dunno if it's the same as the old VW.
