Default This car problem is a mystery to me

Hi..I thought i fixed the problem. I did a TB clean and MAF clean as well as the sparkplugs and the car drove as best as did for a long time..5 days without a problem and then it happened again. After driving 15 minutes the car was coughing under acceleration and wanted to stall. I stopped the car to make a phone call to my workshop to see if i can bring it in for them to observe and after 5 minutes I started the car and it drove OK...no problems for the next 20 minutes....would sensors be so fickle or is it the engine management unit changing the mixture to be running leaner? Could I have dodgey fuel as I noticed that i was starting to have this problem afer running a few tanks of E10 which is a 10% ethanol blend of around 95 octane.

Please someone help as I am out of answers and my mechanics cant help me out
