Engine aggressively cutting out

Have an intermittent problem that my mechanic cant debug. So far we've replaced the distributor, spark-plugs, high-tension cables and alternator. It's getting expensive....
The problem is on some days that the engine will cut out horribly. The RPM drops instantly to zero and no power at all for a fraction of a second. When this happens when the car is in gear then the car will next jump start itself (at, say 60mph) and the exhaust pops with a big bang and then everything is ok again, maybe for another half-an-hour, maybe for another two weeks. Seems to be correlated with driving with the lights and blower on. Once it has refused to re-jump itself for the few minutes it took to pull over by the side of the road, but then restarted when I turned the ignition.
Any thoughts? Thanks, John
