My 2000 (X) V6 used to do exactly the same thing. Went back to the stealers 6 times (4 times they said there was nothing wrong). Eventually they changed the ECU - thankfully it was under warranty!
I hope your problem is not the same - could be expensive.

On my V6 one of the probs was the Throttle Body - apparently they suffer from oil contamination. I don't know if its the same on the 1.8, but it might be worth checking.
