Next time can you take off the gas cap and let the car sit for 15-20 minutes and see what happens? do you have a fuel pressure tester? I chased a somewhat simular problem on the 88 cav. and it turned out the screen on the pump was dirty and collapsing which choked off the fuel flow. Car ran fine on short trips, but over a 30 mile run the car would act up, let it sit for 1/2 hour is would be fine for another 30 miles. I replaced all kinds of crap then put a FP gauge on and found I was loosing pressure.
