I'd say it's likely an intermittent electrical connection somewhere. Since
the tach zeroes and the engine stumbles, I'd start at the hall sender and
work my way back to the ECU from there. Bentley has procedures for checking
that stuff. Check grounds too, while you're at it. I'd be more specific, but
I don't know what engine you have (other than it's probably not a
1.6diesel, as you say you drive it on the freeway).
