I appreciate all of your responses, but this car has me more confused now than before. Three times now over the past weeks I've taken it out for a run, and have tried everything to get it to replicate the problem so I could decide which suggested diagnostic path to follow first, and each time, it has run like a top. Not even a burp where before it was dying. I guess for now, I'll accept that it runs fine, and not mess with it. If it acts up again, and I have a sneaky feeling it will, I'll try some of the suggestions you've given me and if I can identify the problem, I'll be sure to post it here. For now though, cross your fingers for me that the gremlin fell out and is laying on the road somewhere.
