You might want to invest in a vacuum gauge and monitor manifold vacuum when
the condition occurs to see if there is an intermittent vacuum leak. I've
run across vacuum switching valves that have a very minute crack that only
opens up when the engine is very hot.
Another possibility is that fuel delivery is being disrupted somewhow.

Condensers are pretty much a thing of the past in modern vehicles with
electronic ignition.
