problem is back, and seems to be getting worse with time.
New spark plugs installed, new wires. Problem seems somewhat temperature dependent. Driving into town doesn't produce much in the way of problems usually (~20km), but on the way back (less than an hour later, engine still warm) it seems most likely to lose power in short spurts. Also have noticed it more when going uphill. Problem is intermittent, and may happen once every 15 minutes, or as many as 20 times in a couple of minutes.
Wondering if it could be:
-a bad valve?
-a blown head gasket?
As I mentioned before, error code 12 has been faithfully flashing at all times, even during the power fluctuations, and this has a very different feel from my earlier TPS idle circuit problems...
