Being an ex-commodore driver, I'd start at the leads and work from there. When it's nice and dark, lift the bonnet of the car and see if you can see blue flashes around the plug lead. If so, it's buggered. My VS used to occasionally crap a lead, and you'd think the world was coming to an end......

Could also be your coil packs on the way out, if the car drives fine and just shits out of nowhere, then leave it for like 15 mins then it starts again chances are it could be this.

could be the injectors as well or even as simple as ablocked air cleaner, just enough flow to idle but starving for air when you accelerate.
