Oh man this was soooo agonizing when it happened to me. OK, with my car, there's a braided looking wire that serves as a ground that comes from somewhere in the back of the engine by the distributor and goes towards the firewall. This was loose and it would intermittently ground itself out, cut power in half and kill the idle. I'm not sure what this wire is for, but the tech sautered it back to where it was supposed to be and I was on my way.

Hope that helped

Ryan
