First guess is to replace the Crank Position sensor, you are describing what has been proven to be a "heat sensitive" CPS.
MY Graphite did the same thing around 80,000 miles, but it happens anywhere from 10,000 to 150,000.
Make sure you get the OEM Bosh part, go ahead, but one at Autozone, just know that you will probably still struggle with the car if you do so.
