Adam, When this happens, stop, keep the engine running then pull one spark plug wire at a time. Assuming it is running on one cylinder you will determine which one it is. This was already requested and not sure if you got a chance to follow up.

If the above is happening, next move is to determine if it is a coil being affected by heat or the CDI. Switch the high tension leads and primary leads between coils. Drive it until it acts up. If the problem switches cylinders, it is a coil. If not, it is the CDI unit.
