is it 2 diffeent problems?

the first sounds like something wrong with the carb/fuel/system.
wehad a similar problem once with a fuel sock in the tank of a 77 chev truck, whenever it pulled fuel under power, it would die, then start just fine.

the last problem sounds likewhat was wrong with my elcamino, I thought the timing chain was broken, , had the same symptoms you mentioned in that last sentance, all it turned out to be was a starter that was partilly frozen up, there was a broken contact inside that was intermittently freezing up the system.
