Oil all over your spark plugs?
If so then you need a new valve/spark plug cover gaskets. Happened to my s14..

just do a basic tune up on it
new plugs
new wires
new fuel filter
new cap and rotor
and even throw a injector cleaner in the gas tank

Since its only at certain times I am willing to bet it is the MAF. Same thing happened to me.

Replace it they are like $10 on here, if thats not it try plugs.

i did a tune up on it... replaced the spark plugs and wires.. everything is gapped right... it started acting up right after the tune up... i thought it was shitty sparks plugs so i bought ngks and it still has been doin it... as for the MAF sensor... would a bad MAF cause your car to idle funny and once in a while make the car shut off.. because i have that issue as well..

check your dizzy timing? sometimes that can cause it to idle funny and act up in higher RPMs
