    Could be a sticking exhaust valve. When it is warmed up put a flap of tissue paper neat the exhaust, if it flaps back on forth it might be caused by the value sticking. If it is not sticking the paper should be blown away from the exhaust at all times.

    Also worth cleaning the contacts on the throttle position sensor connector. Just unplug the connector and spray some wd40 on the connector pins, this could cause this problem and be very intermittent. 

    A sticking valve would cause the paper to suck towards the exhaust, but would not be so intermittent.
