EPC light comes on intermittently. Check engine light stays on continuously. Engine loses power for short periods, sputters and coughs on occasion, and sometimes quits altogether, but will normally start right back up again. Is it possible that a plugged air filter could be causing this?

Not likely or it wouldnt come and go. You will need to have the PCM scanned for trouble codes. The light is the cars computer (PCM) way of telling you it sees a problem with one or more monitored systems. The code/codes should lead to the fix
