Question 3.8 L problem

Hi!
My wife has a 94 3.8 V6 with an automatic trans; a very basic car. A little over a year ago it started to do this: the engine would suddenly go up a thousand RPM or so while the car lost power. I'm no mechanic, but it felt as if the transmission was slipping or something. I took it to AAMCO, but they said the transmission was OK, so then it was on to a dealer, who eventually decided it was blown head gaskets. Had those done (expensive), and the problem seemed solved. But now it's starting to come back again, very gradually. My warranty on the repairs runs out in 10 days, so I'll have to go back to the dealer, even though the problem is so intermittent that they probably wont be able to duplicate it.

Has anyone else had symptoms like this, and if so what worked for you?

Any advice appreciated.
