To me it sounds like you have a ignition coil that is shorting out or a PCM that is going bad. I would remove the spark plugs and replace them (it is time anyway) and when it is apart test the ignition coils. Here are guides:

and

Also, check the ground cables from the battery to the engine block and then to the frame.
This is a good one lets get it fixed up.
You are right the intake needs to be removed to remove the coils and spark plugs the book gets two hours to do it, but you can do it yourself by checking out the diagrams below.
Service the throttle body while it apart.

Check out the diagrams (below).
Please let us know what you find. We are interested to see what it is.
Cheers, Ken
