An intermittent problem

I drove my Bricklin quite a bit today because my daily driver had a problem. It 
ran fine most of the time, but I had an infrequent intermittent problem. I was 
driving at highway speed and the engine started bucking for several seconds as 
if it was missing badly then it smoothed back out. Later, when I started the 
car it died immediately several times even when I gave it quite a bit of gas. 
Then I turned off the AC and it started fine and ran fine the rest of the day. 
Since the problem is so intermittent, I can't be certain it is the AC, but it 
seems like it may be. Does it sound like the problem could be the compressor 
locking up? If so, would that be caused by a low freon level or by a problem 
with the compressor itself? The AC is cooling as well as it ever has. Any ideas 
what the problem is likely to be and how to troubleshoot it?
