Sounds like 'Vanagon syndrome', static electricity build-up or AFM getting
worn.  Check the archives on these topics.

I'll second the "Vanagon Syndrome" diagnosis.  Mine did this too, and I
changed out the AFM and it has run like a champ since.

I however also changed all ground at that time (highly recommended) and the
Idle stabilisor unit, and control box too... so I cannot really be 100%
certain.

But concensus would show that this is pretty standard for the well known
(and very well documented in the archives) "vanagon Syndrome".

Good Luck!
