But we're all still guessing since a few vital pieces of information are missing in order to provide an informed answer.

Not knowing the make and model (why the mystery?), I think lafinfil is on point. Next time it acts up fill the tank with gas and the problem should go away until the fuel heats up again. If filling the tank makes it go away then you need to replace the pump which is in your tank.

If it is a model that has a fuel pump in the tank (like older VW/Bosch systems) then it could be a sign of a fuel failing pump.
This is especially true if you are driving around with low fuel levels (say under 1/4 tank) In these systems the fuel in the tank
acts as a heat sink for the fuel pump. Either way I would have the mechanic check fuel pressure and replace filters before
I replaced injectors. Can't hurt to try cleaner though.
