My dad had these exact symptoms on his Ford van once. It turned out that
his trailer plug had gotten wet and was intermittently shorting to the
back bumper. The surges and drops in power were due to the alternator
trying to meet the additional intermittent load.

You might try temporarily hooking up a voltmeter and watching that as
well.

When driving, the ametter starts to swing fairly wildly (between large
discharge and large charge) and at the same time the engine follows
along
with a period of small surges and drops in power.
