Engine intermittently cutting out at speed

Hi all,

I posted about this a while ago, and I thought the issue was addressed by fixing the fuel pump relay contacts. I guess that was a separate issue.

Anyway, this is now the 2nd time this has happened. I start off for a drive, get onto the freeway (car is prob not fully up to temp yet). Within a few minutes of highway speed, I notice that the car seems to slightly hesitate when I give gas. This condition quickly worsens, and I seem to have trouble keeping up with traffic. I find the next off ramp and pull over. Both times, by the time I'm a bit off the freeway, the condition is seemingly gone. This happened yesterday, and I was able to putter around a little bit, get gas and then re-started a 90 minute drive with seemingly no drama.

Beyond that, the car seems to run great, so I'm a bit stumped.

In reading some posts, I'm suspecting maybe CDI (Bosch)?

I'll also mention this in case folks think it helps/is related. The seatbelt light/buzzer was going off somewhat randomly (once out of the blue, and other times when I close the ashtray or turn on/off the defroster). I pulled the seatbelt relay which "fixed" the problem, but I'm now going to check the alt/voltage regulator as this appears to be a somewhat frequent cause of the seatbelt light issues.
