Hmm im no expert but have you checked the obvious? like check and make sure all your plugs are firing? If ones not firing you'd definetely notice a rougher idle and loss of power.

but why would it clear up after i turn it off then back on?

umm from what i heard on the forums ( i dont actually know and i may be wrong) some ignition parts work better when theyre cold, like if theres a crack in something is expands when the cars warmer. I'm sure someone has a better idea of what im talking about.

does it happen only when the car is hot or cold or all the time. Depending on when it happens, could be an o2 sensor, or tfi module.

It might be your O2 sensors. I had jeep that acted like it was missing under load. Over time it got really bad and the motor had almost no power but would idle kind of rough. After letting it sit for about 5 minutes it would run ok. Changed the o2 sensor and all was better.
