HI there,

Thank you for the donation.

This is sounding as if you have an intermittent ignition fault, what you are describing could be the ignition cutting out and then coming back on again. What you will have to do first is get a scan and check for any set fault codes, also check that the ignition system loose ok, no loose wires things like that do this first and re post your findings.
