Check your fuel filter, sounds like it could be an obstruction in the fuel line. Possibly a clogged line or tank, but if you are having problems with debris it will show in the filter.

Its also the cheapest and easiest place to start.

This matches your symptoms in that if its partially clogged it will usually run while fuel demand is low but increase the demand and it pulls the clog enough to stop flow. Car dies, pressure releases a bit and fuel can flow slowly again until the process starts all over.

I went through this after reviving my 122 and eventually had to have the tank boiled and cleaned out the fuel line thoroughly with carb cleaner. Stopped being a problem after that.
