I've had a couple cars that exhibit the same problem you're describing and it was the catalytic converter everytime. First time it ever happened my mechanic described it as "the old banana in the tailpipe trick". Since i was a poor college student he recommended carrying around a good size wrench. When it bogged down, I just got out, banged on the converter to shake loose whatever was clogging it and went on my way.
